The "fanny" method in library(cluster) outputs probabilities 
of membership in each cluster.

the one above, its dimensions would be in the order of (100000, 
100000). Does anyone know if this would cause practical problems,  
perhaps very slow clustering?

I had a much smaller matrix, 4000x3, fanny took about 4 
minutes wall clock time on a lightly loaded (there were many 
other processes, but none
computational) 1.4 GHz Athlon, It was completely CPU-bound.
