I should probably have explained that I already have a very fast (slot 
based) memory allocator, so it is not really the realloc() time that is 
hitting me. Rather, it is the time in the garbage collector. Since so 
much garbage is being created I have to spend a lot of time doing 
garbage collection, otherwise the memory use of the process runs amok.
