nsz> ...bisect is not so fast for large data... Yes I know in theory the insertion sort approach should be bad for large enough values, but the weird thing is that if you mix inserts and deletes (with enough deletes) even 1M elements is not a large enough value. Anyway, for 10K or less the insertion sort priority queue implementation seems to always be better.
