What kinds of matrices? There are facilities in the Matrix and
SparseM packages that might help for sparse matrices. If they are N x k
where N is large and k is not, can you compute something like the QR
decomposition and get away with keeping only the R part for most of your
matrices?
One could potentially define a class of matrices that are only kept
in memory only when needed; I think S-Plus may do that. It would take
a lot of work to make that work generally, but you might be able to
accomplish what you need with a much smaller effort.
