If you define the array space outside of the loop, using the <b>Initialize Array</b> function, wired for the desired number of elements, then use the <b>Replace Array Subset</b> function to replace each element as you index through the array, it should initialize a lot faster, especially for a large array. As I understand it, using the loop to build the array (effectively what you're doing) requires copying the old array to a new array with one additional element, every time through the loop. The replacement mechanism just updates a value in an allocation that's already been created and initialized. So you avoid large memory allocation tasks and large amounts of copying of data from the old array to the new one.
Hope that helps. Sorry this a very 'late' reply - other work has kept me away too long! Bob
