Surprising behaviour of vector

In today’s lunchtime contest in the problem Chef and String I submitted a code which gave TLE on the second subcase where |S|<=10^5, the code I submitted was accepetd for |S|<=2000. The code I submitted is :

int main()

{

char s[100009];
cin>>s;
    int i,j,k,l;
    
vector<int> x;
for(i=0;i<=4;i++)
	x.push_back(0);
//2 7 4 5
int y[27];
y[2]=1;
y[7]=2;
y[4]=3;
y[5]=4;
x[0]=inf;
for(i=0;i<strlen(s);i++)
{
	j=y[s[i]-'A'];
	
	k=j-1;
	if(x[k]>x[j])
		x[j]++;
	



}

cout<<x[4]<<endl;

}

But just after I changed the use of vector x by making it an array os size 5, I got accepetd in 0.00 seconds. The change I made is shown below:

int x[5]={0};

by replacing the following code in the main program:

vector<int> x;
for(i=0;i<=4;i++)
	x.push_back(0);

I don’t know why this happened. Anybody who knows the cause for this one?
