Jim,

Thank you for the suggestion. I have tried it out and it is actually slightly slower.

The results from the program are:

Time for derived type test: 1.703125 seconds
Time for modified test: 1.765265 seconds

For comparison the array takes 0.46875 seconds

These timings are for 100 cycles with 100,000 particles. The test machine is a laptop with a Pentium M 2.0GHz processor running Windows XP. I am using the version 9.0 compiler, as I am new to it I am just using the default settings for the Release version.
