I have a 100Mb comma-separated file, and R takes several minutes to read it (via read.table()). This is R 1.9.0 on a linux box with a couple gigabytes of RAM. I am conjecturing that R is gc-ing, so maybe there is some command-line arg I can give it to convince it that I have a lot of space, or?!
Thanks! Igor ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
