In my current project, a feature layer is created based on shape data generated after some complicated surface analysis procedure.
The sequence right now is like
[Surface Analysis Algorithm] -> [array of xyz data] -> [shp file written to disk] -> [create feature class from shape] -> [create feature layer from feature class]
I'm on the process of optimizing the project, so I wondered if there was any way to display directly the in memory shape data in a layer, bypassing the read/write to hard disk?

When you create your featureclass, try using an InMemoryWorkspaceFactory instead of a ShapefileWorkspaceFactory. See code here.
