I'm sure it would work, but would it be fast?

Does std::stack allocate a giant chunk of memory and then sub-allocate
from that in stack-like fashion or does each object in the std::stack get
allocated from the heap?  The former would probably be pretty fast, but
the latter would be no faster than malloc().
