I don't know--I've certainly never seen anything of that magnitude. 
Still, I guess I wouldn't worry if the compiled app checks out okay. What 
exactly do you mean by "calls to the global handle?"

That's good enough for me, although for speed you might consider instead 
storing the number of points you can collect-- 
  ptsAvail = (memReq& - gDataSize&) / _positionData 
then using 
  DEC(ptsAvail)
each time you record one.
