[R] Handling large calculations and memory

Dear All,

I am planning to run a Monte-Carlo experiment which involves to do roughly 
100.000 times the following

1- Generating a sample of, say, 50.000 numbers from an ARMA or GARCH
2- Doing some regressions on the series
3- On each regression storing one special value from the results into a 
sequence that will be analyzed later.

The experiment is calculation-intensive, and I suspect some problems of 
memory management. I would appreciate some advices for the experiment to 
run smoothly in terms of memory.

Many Thanks,
