RE: CLEAR vs. DEALLOC/ALLOC

["Richard Jackson" <richardjackson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't know how alloc/dealloc works but clear can use a large number of
cycles.  I would guess that alloc/dealloc would be better but I would like
to know how it works before being more confident.

-|  Which is more efficient for an array:  CLEAR or DEALLOC /
-|ALLOC?  If it's
-|one of those "it depends" answers, then please specify the details.
-|
-|  In my case the arrays are quite large.  One is up to 5,000 entries and
-|the other is variable, so I defined it as 32,767, based.  No lookups are
-|being done, so that is not a concern.  TIA.
