I'm figuring that creating an array creates one on the hard drive and a memblock is exactly that, a block of memory (ram) so it would make sens to me that reading/writing information to/from a memblock would increase the efficiency of anyhting that I happened to be coding.

Does anyone have any insight onto this subject, theoretical knowledge, personal experience, etc.

An array is still done in the memory (ram), so I guess the speed should match up equally.

arrays are in memory.
pretty much everything you do will be in memory except for reading/writing files from the harddrive.
