I very much doubt the speed difference for the common case will be noticeable to the user, or even if it is: unacceptable. At the end of the day stack and heap both live in physical RAM and there's a finite amount of that so there's always a hard limit. The practical difference between "string blah[HUGE_NUM];" and "vector<string> blah;" is that the first form will crash on startup while the second one will crash sometimes.
