The performance of FillChar is not my problem, The main issue in my

my code such that this array does not need to be initialized with zero

But the InitInstance function, initialize the array with zero.
I can see a simple solution to resolve my problem. I can change the
array, in my class, to a dynamic array or pointer or ...
But what if I had, let's say, many variables inside my class? Or a big
data structure?
The initialization of every class instance is a major improvement over
e.g. C++ classes. I'd say that you should accept it, instead of
searching for workarounds, with hard to predict effects in the remaining
code.
I understand that, but I usually forget about it and initialize all my
variables to 0 in constructor ;).
