ELD database new default size is large , and mode string .
ELD database new default size is large, and mode string.
Compared with previous array mode, string reduces peak memory up to 35x and memory usage by 30x, enabling larger databases as default with higher accuracy.
large-string has a 50% memory reduction over small-array.
string is only about 2x slower than array, which is still quite fast.
ELD has now database execution modes: array, string, bytes and disk. More Info at README.

Current default, that matches previous execution is array-small. (Small for database size)
In a future version, the new default will be string-large, so I encourage trying it.
