Does someone want to test Vector.contains()? I'm rewriting aStar and getting a slow result on that one too.

ah wait:

It seems the practice of equals() is to override it to provide a concise method of comparison that agrees with your definition of comparison. So Java is right to implement equals(). But if one is just comparing references by running through a list - it is far quicker to write a for loop that goes through the whole lot.

A better indexing system would be nice, but I wouldn't be using Vector if I wasn't anticipating a mess of objects.

I hope this clears a few things up.
