 Yes, it  does  matter.   It is usually  allocated  at  the end of 
the
 memory, and  since  the gc  only frees  memory, if your  malloc is any
 decent, the virtual space  is given back  to the system when the final
 free is done. 
It somehow seems perverse to allocate almost as much memory as you are
using for the process of freeing up...
