Releasing memory with Redim Preserve

I am using large arrays with up to 500,000 elements. After each iteration, I can release about 3,000 elements to memory with

Redim Preserve Array(size-3000)

How can I assign the newly released memory to work on the remaining floating point operations that need to be done?

??????????????????

the released memory is handed back to the OS, which in turn will pass back whatever resources you need (assuming they exist) which is why it's good to release them where possible.

I doubt floating point operations would benifit from more memory anyway, but they do benefit from spare CPU cycles, which is what you should be trying to free up (using more efficient algorithms) if your floating point math is running slow

What problem are you actually experiencing?
