That's what gets you...

Stack on multi-thread apps is demanding.

Even if some memory is needed for a short time, (heap is what the
threads need at the same time, stack is what all the threads need some
of the time) the heap allocation may be -faster- (because it uses memory
efficiently).

Also running out of stack is ungraceful...  If you call malloc and it
returns NULL (oh wait this C++ you know what mean) you can try to
restore some semblance of order.  Out of stack, blam!  Your files,
shared memory??

I echo some other posters that we don't know the context of program.
Some app you only run yourself?  Quasi-real-time where some people die
if it fails?
