First, I assume this is the console and not a pager, and you are displaying an object and not a file? The console scrollback size can be set in the file Rconsole, at the lines # memory limits for the console scrolling buffer, in bytes and lines bufbytes = 65000 buflines = 8000 You've hit the first one: you need about 10 bytes per item.
