Just recently this package surfaced:
The standard container types in Julia (Vector, Set, Dict) can hold an arbitrary number of elements. If the size is known in advance, one can use dedicated types like SVector or MVector from StaticArrays.jl that are much faster and, in the case of SVector, don’t allocate any memory. In many problems, however, the size is not fixed, but instead known to be “small”. In enumerative combinatorics, for example, combinatorial explosions make it often impossible to reach “large” vectors or sets.
SmallC…
The package tries to maintain the speed of SVector with the interface of Vector for small lengths. Perhaps a SmallVector{3,Node} will get the performance you need with nice syntax.
