I wish I could. But basically these are large blobs (usually GIS images, but can be regular images and sometimes large zips).
Unfortunately I don't have control over the project, and only have this little box I can work in (read data from a socket, and optimize the memory ). I was using a MemoryStream, simply because it was quick and easy. I'm moving to a dynamically expanding byte array, but the Trimming part is what I was/am worried about. Cheers!
