If you are processing, sequentially, elements of a list then it probably makes no difference. However most UPDATE programs actually touch elements in a semi-random fashion. So you might have something like Inventory(3) = price Inventory(10) = onhand Inventory(21) = lastpo This type of update, not being in order, would exhibit much greater speed than the same update using a dynamic array. That being said, it's possible that the majority of an UPDATE type process isn't actually pushing values into cells, but doing lots of other things that changing the type of array would not affect. But simply saying that it makes no difference in any case is not true.
