Re: [R] Possible memory leak in loop.
If you are running on Windows, you might want to use 'perfmon' to look
at the memory usage of the process over time. You might also want to
put calls to memory.size in your looping code to see if there are
things you are doing in the code that might temporarily use a lot of
space and maybe fragment memory.
