Yeah, deleting from the end of the list yields a similar improvement.
foreach() appears to be slightly faster, but the difference is
basically negligible. For a list of a million integers, foreach()
consistently takes ~12ms, deleting from the end of the list takes
~15ms, and deleting from the beginning of the list takes ~4 minutes.
