Use exact number of bytes for each filename.

Results in even less memory usage. The names are appended one after another.
The offsets are reset when the location of the memory changes die to realloc().

Other changes:

1. Use a debug mode print to measure time.
2. Remove redundant prefix when printing pointers in debug mode.
