That doesn't really say much. How many of these variables are factors ? How 
many levels do they have ? And what is the order of the interaction ? (Note 
that for 10 numeric variables, if you allow all interactions, then there will 
be a 100 terms in your model. This increases for factors.)

In other words, how big is your model matrix ? (See ?model.matrix)
