R devel - Jun 2008 - Using Huge Pages for R

Hi all,
My application usually works on huge amounts of data in the size of MB's .So
the performance of "R" in this case will increase if Huge pages are
used
instead of malloc'ing (as in memory.c) .
So Are there any methods to support Huge Pages in "R" ?
Can any one give some inputs to help me implementing this feature?

Have you looked at the [ff] package?
