Oh, thanks! Well, I actually realized that with only a small redesign I could get rid of this class entirely, without losing any real functionality. The overall model is every-so-slightly less OOP, but not enough to miss. 

I messed around for several hours this morning trying to figure out how that other class could be eating so much memory, but I never figured it out. The new version I have basically pulls the functionality of the "Allusion" into the objects that the Allusion class was associating. I had to move the statistical data into these objects as well, but it's more convenient to have it there anyway, so no loss.

Anyway, what I thought was a clever design was just bloated, I guess! If you do look at it, purely out of theoretical interest, and see anything really obvious, let me know. But please don't waste any of your time.

cheers,

J.
