Hi,

At some points of my computations I want gc() to try really hard and collect as many objects as possible even though the triggering limits are not hit. Will it help if I temporarily set the limits to some small values, call gc() and then reset them back to their original values? What variables exactly need to be set?  Does anyone have a prototype of such function?

I tried to read the R help, e.g. Memory and memory.limits(), but I am not sure I understand how this applies to my case.

Thanks,
Vadim
