I think the read.table and cousins read in some modest fraction of the  
data

Probably need to either preprocess with  readLines if you want an  
exact match of width or maybe take a guess with  ... ,  colClasses =  
rep("numeric", 250)  to create a sufficiently wide set of columns to  
hold everything.
