Any other ideas?
Garbage collection tends to break down when you have enormous blocks of
memory allocated - 200Mb certainly qualifies.
I suggest breaking up the data structure into smaller pieces, like
making it an array of arrays.
This doesn't help. The requirement is that it is one contiguous piece of
memory.
I don't know if we can solve the GC problems (although it seems that is
all people want to talk about here), I was wondering if we can provide a
library/language supported solution to enable better manual memory
management in these extreme circumstances.
