[Bioc-devel] minimizing copies when creating ExpressionSet

[Benilton Carvalho]

my bad... after creating either y1 or y1, resident memory used is  
rouhgly 10GB (i'm counting here the 'x' object too, so i think about  
7GB is used to create either object).

my question is if there's something i'm missing that would minimize  
the use of these 7gb....

sorry for the typo and possibly not making myself clear.
