Hello Everybody,

     A piece of my code looks as follows:


    AllocateHugeBlock()
      -----
      -----
      -----
    FreeHugeBlock()

"AllocateHugeBlock" allocates 500 blocks each of size 62000 bytes. And
"FreeHugeBlock" frees the same. These two functions are taking most of
my execution time. What I want to know is, whether there is any
workaround for doing the same in a much less time?

Thanks in advance,
Regards Sunil
