Hi Siddharth,

because you are touching possibly "hot" code paths, it is not possible
to just move the allocation to the heap.  You will have to check whether
the number of used items is low enough and, if not, switch from the
stack-allocated array to the heap.  This way the stack-allocated array
can be made smaller (e.g. 2K).

Thanks,

Paolo
