What language?  In C++ you can insert one view into another.  That and 
using blocked views should go a long way (don't pre-allocate in blocked 
views, it probably won't help much).

Ah, wait, your "metakit.wrap()" comment indicates you're using the 
Python binding.  Hmmm, looks like we forgot to add a wrapper for C++'s 
"view.InsertAt(pos,view)".
