I guess I had forgotten about the ability to create custom allocators to track memory usage -- thats definitely a nice feature of the STL.  Of course linked lists and queues are bound to be pretty space efficient... it's the has tables and trees with fast lookup that one might fear are memory hungry.

MilesAhead:
Here's one I've been reading lately, Daniel Lemire's blog: http://lemire.me/blog/

He had a recent post on the unpredictable and high memory usage of C++ STL containers, something I have long fretted about.

Not to mention that many newbs use STL as a substitute for thinking.  I can remember a few years ago posting some code on a C++ forum that used a Buffer object on the stack.  The destructor freed the memory so that the code is much cleaner.  I was chastised for not just using an STL container.  I pointed out that Bjarne Stroustrup used just such a Buffer object in his C++ Programming Language book.  I mean, not reinventing the wheel is one thing.  Throwing in the kitchen sink just to avoid a little testing is ridiculous.  I like to take a nap as much as the next guy but laziness != efficiency.  :)
