By the way, the use of gigantic contiguous strings is almost
always a very bad data structure choice, and if you are
interested in efficiency, you should probably start by
rethinking your data structures and using a more effective
data structure.

Since C has rather poor data structuring abilities compared
to Ada, it is not unusual to "spin your own" in C, but in
Ada there is certainly a better way of doing things.
