allocating 40MB of static data seems a bit excessive.

1. Your exectuable is probably going to be 40MB (not sure)
2. allocating on the heap is probably going to be faster than this, as the 
OS would not have to read 40MB of static data from the disk.

Is there a reason why you want to do it this way instead of:

Struct[] structs;
static this
{
   structs = new Struct[1_000_000];
}
