What happens if you presize the PerlArray to its final size before the loop? i.e. "set P0, 1000" or whatever. IIRC PerlArray extends by a single element each time you add an element off the end. This seems like an implementation wart to me, but fixing it takes a bit of doing, since PerlArray doesn't have a place to store an "allocated size" as well as a "real size". /s
