I guess we have successfully isolated the problem then :-)

I guess you are only plotting certain regions of interest at a time
(perhaps across all 6 samples at once).

You might consider turning your aligned read files (what format are
they in(?)) into BAM files, then using Rsamtools to query them.

You could then, for example, query each BAM file (1 per experiment) to
get all reads over a particular region of interest, like on Chromosome
1, between positions 16,000,000 and 16,500,000 (or whatever). Reading
from BAM files like this will is *super* fast, and will save you tons
of memory.
