.NET LINQ List Skip and Take function Memory Pressure

[GKS001]

Hi All,

I am processing a List in chunk as in code snippet below.

In production the List is around million items.

My question is will the following code snippet create more memory pressure on .NET as i skip and take items iteratively.

--sample code

var itemList = new List<string> { "Item#1", "Item#2", "Item#3", "Item#4", "Item#5", "Item#6", "Item#7", "Item#8", "Item#9" };

int nChunkIndex = 0;
int nChunkSize = 2;

do
{

List<string> tmpProcessingChunkList = itemList.Skip(nChunkIndex).Take(nChunkSize).ToList();

if (tmpProcessingChunkList.Count == 0)
break;

//Process chunk size

nChunkIndex += nChunkSize;
}
while (true);

Thanks!
