hi,
over the past few days, i collected some amount of data, i.e. a script
examined more than 120.000 XML documents. for a while this ran just fine, but
at a certain point the machine ran out of RAM. i then included a manual call
to gc() in the loop, which actually already removed all processed objects with
rm() so i didn't think i'd run into problems, but that still didn't really
help as much as i had thought.
i just examined this a bit. calling gc() in RKWard *looks* like it really
frees memory, but on the system level i don't notice a significant reduction.
only after i close RKWard the memory level goes back considerably. can it be
that the memory freed by R is still occupied by RKWard throughout a session?
