I've always been told that adding an element to an array happens like this:
An empty copy of the array+1element is created and then the data from the original array is copied into it then the new data for the new element is then loaded
If this is true, then using an array within a scenario that requires a lot of element activity is contra-indicated due to memory and cup utilization, correct?
If that is the case, shouldn't you try to avoid using an array as much as possible when you will be adding a lot of elements? Should you use iStringMap instead? If so, what happens if you need more than 2 dimensions AND need to add a lot of element additions do you just take the performance hit or is there something else that should be used?
