<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Tahoma>I have a program that builds a very large array
(over 1,500,000) of integers, and the calculation to fill the array takes quite
a while – around 40-50 secs. If there is a quick way to do it, I
would save the array to disk if it was faster than recalculating it the next
time.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Tahoma></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Tahoma>I am guessing that writing the elements to strings
and using CSV etc would be quite slow, as it involves quite a lot of
processing. I will run a test to see.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Tahoma></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Tahoma>Is there any really fast way to save such an array
to disk? The numbers range between 0 and 256 if that
helps.</FONT></DIV></DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
