(silly?) speed comparisons

Indeed. Where in Python you're passing references your C++ code produces
copies of the vector. For starters you can change the function signature to

void move_slice(vector<string>& vec, int start, int stop, int dest)

which should already give your C++ implementation a significant speed boost.
