[DGD] Clones and very large arrays

[Robert Forshaw]

What are the problems with having very large arrays? In my lib, every master 
has an array containing a list of its clones. I expect the number of clones 
for one particular object to be in the thousands, and potentially, tens to 
hundreds of thousands. Are there any issues to be wary of with an array of 
this size? Will it be CPU intensive to delete a single element in an array 
of that size? (i.e. clones -= ({ a_clone_that_has_just_been_destructed }) 
when sizeof(clones) > 100000). If this kind of use of arrays is deprecated, 
how should I keep a record of clones?
