Thanks for the tip.  I'm amazed at the size of your array! 
Refreshing to know it works even that big!

At this juncture, I can arrange the array pretty much anyway I wish. 
I hadn't considered the above, but it would work just fine that way.

Whatever allows for the fastest access is the goal.

How much memory did your huge array need?
