I meant that the sparse array might use so much memory or cause more garbage collection than expected, but sure, this is an unintended side effect as well. It might be worth going back to your original code, change the loop to do half the calculations and see what happens. This assumes that you really don't need to separately calculate A vs B and B vs A. -Alex
