Quick question regarding string sizes - Voxel - 20.11.2013

What is the difference between having a variable that is to large like

pawn Код:

new string[1000];
//using the string here like to display "Hello" (wich is only 5 digits long)

you guys get what i mean.. so my question is like does this impact the performence or anything or ...?

thanks
