byte-accuracy red, green, blue channels) = 27 bytes. More likely 28 bytes as colours are probably stored as 32-bit integers, allowing for an unused alpha channel.
28 * 800,000 equals roughly 22 megabytes, which is way down from 9 gigabytes. That's a 400 fold memory overhead, which is pretty hefty.
Grasshopper stores points as instances of classes, so on 64-bit systems it actually takes 64+64+3*8 = 152 bytes per point*, which adds up to 122MB, still way less than 9GB. It would be interesting to know where all the memory goes...
* Grasshopper points also store reference data, in case they come from the Rhino document. This data will not exist, but even so it will require 64-bits of storage.…

1+2+3+4+5+6 = 21
1+2+3+4+5+6+7 = 28
1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8 = 36
1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9 = 45
Is there a tool, that can do me that job?
How do I get this List {1,3,6,10,15,21,28,36,45}?…
