Well, we run these on CRAN from time to time, but R CMD check --as-cran 
does not run them.

I dom not believe you need a large data frame for the examples: The 
exanmples are intended to show users how you call the function and pass 
the arguments. You do not need to demonstrate that you can run it on 
huge data, as your users don't want to wait for hours in order to see 
the principles of the function call ....

Best,
