I apologize for my ignorance here - I just want to make sure I know what is going on.

std::vector<float> floats;floats.reseve(1000000);

Is this allocated on the stack or heap? If it's stack - isn't this a bad thingTM given the huge size of what I'm allocating?

It's allocated using the supplied Allocator -- if you supply no allocator, it defaults to the one that allocates on the free store (AKA “heap”).
