[R] Error: cannot allocate vector of size

[jim holtman]

Assuming that your column are numeric, you would need 4GB of memory
just to store one copy of the object.  If this is 5 years, then you
would need almost 1GB for a copy, but the processing probably will use
up twice as much as it is processing.  Try reading a month's worth and
see how much you use.  In problems like this, you creep up on it; you
just try to jump in all at once.  Do it in increments and watch the
usage.
