[REBOL] Re: TUPLE! DATA-MODEL & OTHER VALUES

Hi Mark
Thanks for the post, I found Daan's discussion of tuples quite insightful.
Is there anything in your archives about the fact that creating a empty
block allocates 16 bytes per entry?
>> start: system/stats
== 1620752
>> b: make block! 10000
== []
>> rebol/stats - start / 10000
== 16.1792
>>
Note there is a small amount of additional overhead reflected. The longer
the block the closer the value is to 16.
Cheers
-Larry
