R uses memory. That may lead to large virtual memory allocation, with a
consequently large paging file. Managing paging files is an
operating-system-specific system administration skill, not an R issue.
Depending on the algorithms you are using in R, you may be able to pick more
memory efficient methods, but preventing any runaway process from bringing the
server to its knees is sysadmin work.
