I don't know how memory is managed in IDL except
in the most general terms, but I suspect that
done thousands of times, the syntax above will
inevitably lead to memory fragmentation. I think
getting memory in "chunks", as JD and others recommend,
must be more memory efficient in the long run.

Cheers,

David
