Is manually looping through a vector always strictly worse then using iterators?

Actually there were some good performance improvements in the std when switching some code from iterators to indexing. It's just that it is hard to do indexing correctly, to avoid bounds checks.

A trick I have seen in this thread is to do indexing through a local slice. Though I don't know if that is still relevant.
