Memory usage reported by gc() differs from 'top'
...s, and found answers like "just buy more RAM".
Which doesn't exactly answer my question. And come on, 18g is pretty big;
sure it doesn't fit in my RAM (only 7.2g are in), but that's beside the
point.
The huge memory demand is specific to R version 2.15.3 Patched (2013-03-13
r62500) -- "Security Blanket". The same test runs without issues under R
version 2.15.1 beta (2012-06-11 r59557) -- "Roasted Marshmallows".
I appreciate any insights you can share into R's memory management, and
gc() in particular.
