Let us assume we have a method of a class which is used often

1. Simple: float[] array;
2. Reserve: float[] array; array.reserve(N); /// N is a
parameter value
3. Use manual memory allocation (e.g. with malloc) and free
the memory
immediately at the end of the scope.
4. Use stack allocated memory (But maybe 4000 is too big?)
Currently I would prefer #3, the manual memory allocation
because I can
then control when _exactly_ the memory is released. But I want
to hear
other opinions. :)
5. Keep a TLS scratch pad buffer (static class member) for
said 100-4000 floats and re-use it.
TLS scratch pad buffer?
