Assuming you mean push_back and not insertion, I believe that the important part is the multiply by some constant (as opposed to grabbing N more elements each time) and as long as you do this you'll get amortized constant time. Changing the factor changes the average case and worst case performance.
You can do the math to try to figure how this kind of thing works.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
