Subject: Array Creation

Hello

I was wondering why Ruby takes long time to create an array. I tried:

Start = Time.now
names = Array.new(614400000)
puts Time.now-Start

Ruby took around 308 seconds to create this large array. Can anyone tell
me why Ruby takes such a long time? Also when assigning a variable to
the array takes long time. Why is that?
