I have written a module containing classes to manage raw data in external memory. It provides semantics similar to built-in void[] arrays, but has the following advantages:

• Faster allocation and deallocation, since memory is requested from the OS directly as whole pages
• Greatly reduced chance of memory leaks due to stray pointers
• Overall improved GC performance due to reduced size of managed heap
• Memory is immediately returned to the OS when data is deallocated
