RE: Array efficiency (was:Dynamic Arrays)

My understanding has been that stuff not currently being used was paged to
disk and "active" stuff was retained in memory.  Assuming I'm correct, an
array would never be sent to disk unless the program was placed on hold or
was awaiting some user response.

Stuff is paged in and out off disk memory regularly and often which is why
an AS/400 can have so many devices attached and still operate efficiently.
An array would be stored on disk too, just like any other paging activity.
