You could implement your own array class which breaks the memory into non-contiguious blocks. Say, have a 64 by 64 array of [64,64] ushort arrays which are allocated and deallocated seperately. Then just map to the right one. Location 66,66 would be at location [2,2] in the array at [1,1].

Then, you should be able to dodge the Large Object Heap.
