Your bigger problem is with this "trim the array" idea, which is definitely not an obvious solution. The way you've coded it you'd have to tally almost the entire days worth of deltas just to determine the trim point. And you may still exceed that single-day max memory, because you'd accumulate overruns in between trims. I'll leave you to think about that one.

(Hint: google round robin database. You know, the solution that I mentioned.)
