[R] Possible memory leak in loop.
I was trying to use memory.size() to determine whether a code loop I am executing created a memory leak, since one replicate of the simulation takes 670.98 seconds according to proc.time(), while 5 replicates takes 170762 seconds. So I set it up as: memA <- memory.size() looping code... memB <- memory.size() memA returns as 9.3, and memB returns 11.3. I'm not familiar with fluctuation patterns in RAM usage (if there are any). Does anyone with more experience know if this is indicative of a memory leak? Thanks, Jon -- Jonathan P.
