Yes, they do have to request deletion; in itself, it is not 
related to distant/non-distant, since in parallelized interaction 
processing, removing interactions from container from within the loop is
not safe and might crash (it does actually if you tried (I did)). I did 
no measurements, but I am convinced that the overhead is close to zero 
(a std::list of pair of body ids, and breaking an interaction happens 
relatively "rarely", i.e. by far not at every interation).
