DataTables vs. Arrays

I'm writing a component that use datatables to store mostly key / value pairs. The value is an object, another class in the component actually. The key is a string. Should I look into using arrays or hashtables instead of datatables to save memory? Input is appreciated.

digiduck,

Won't make an awful lot of difference. Do it if you need the memory but personally, I wouldn't worry unless it becomes an issue. Sure you can spend you time better!

alright thanks. I'll leave it as something in my 'like to do' list for now then. :)
