Alas, each item is of arbitrary size. I'm combining various text files together and each item represents a line from a file. Using a linked list felt like a reasonable approach, since I can easily move around and insert and remove lines at specific positions. However, the same end result can certainly be obtained without the list.

This also uses less memory, as each malloc has a header block of 8 bytes

Thanks, I didn't know that!
