A list is passed by pointer. The first thing that can be slower, is having 
to read the atomtype because list elements can be things other than 
floats. The second thing that can be slower, is if ever you need to copy 
the list or part thereof. But until the method returns, the argc and argv 
parametres can be used directly.
