Hello Paolo,

PB> Unless I'm mistaken, this is two objects, an Array and a Float.

actually you seem to be right, Float allInstances size only gives some
28000 Floats after having created my big Array.

So I guess the other replies are valid (time is spent in GC) but for a
different reason.

I'll tuck the informations away for the time I really have use for
them.

Cheers
