True. The filesize won't differ much.

Yes, we still need it for other cases where we use STL.

I always had the impression that STL is usually faster than MFC/ATL,
especially the string class (and of course map, vector, ...). And if I
recall correctly, you just optimized TortoiseMerge by replacing the
'text file class' there with an STL version.
So what advantages would we have by switching to ATL?
