Well, this may look as an obvious candidate for microoptimization at first, but looking at how often the samples array is used, you'll realize this is a waste of precious memory (as you said yourself, RAM is very expensive nowadays!) in majority of the cases.
The point is that struct _UDisksBaseJobPrivate.samples array is only used in on_notify_progress() which gets connected only when the object property auto-estimate is set to TRUE (default = FALSE). Only the format-erase job uses that, as far as I was able to find.
So I wonder what was your point behind this - do you have some real world profiling numbers in hand supporting your changes?
