&lt;p&gt;Considering a process is allocated megabytes of memory when it runs, worrying about a few thousand kilobytes of wasted space is not really productive.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Wasting memory or wasting CPU resources is never good, of course, but correctness is the first priority. Once you have a solution that works correctly, tighten up memory use, IF it presents a problem in the number of instances you can run; tighten up the algorithmns involved, IF there's a problem with run time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No problem? Go on to the next task.&lt;/p&gt;
