The usual trick is to replace AppendTo[list,elem] with list {list,elem}.

The list is going to look like
{{{{{{elem1},elem2},elem3},elem4},elem5},elem6}

At the end you do a list = Flatten[list] and all is fine;

In this case your elements have a structure which has to be protected
against Flatten.
That can be done by replacing the list that contains them with a dummy
head (fl) like this:

Results= {Results, fl[M[[Nbase]], Total[Eigenvalues[matrA[[k]]]]]}

Right after the loop you Flatten and get rid of the head fl:

Results2 = Flatten[Results] /. fl -> List;

For NumBasis =10000 this version is twice as fast, but for NumBasis
=100,000 the speedup is already a factor of 20!
