Investigate if making a copy of the data array is necessary

texadactyl opened this issue · comments

When max_load=1.0 or unspecified and defaulting to 1.0, this is not an issue. However, when there are large data arrays, allocating 2X amount of byte space needed from RAM is a bit piggy.

It does not appear to be actually copying the data by value, only by reference.
