: 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?

Perhaps allocate one block of size 500*62000, and then setting up the 
pointers to point at the right place in the single block?


Right,
