can we manage memory usage to increase speed?

memory.limit(size = x)

where x is the desired memory limit in MB.

Hello


Function memory.size() =435109888. How do I

increase it by, say 30%?

Thanks

Hi,
 
Thanks for reading.
 
I am running  a process in R for microarray data
analysis. RedHat Enterprise Linux 4, dual AMD CPU,
6G memory. However, the R process use only a total
of <200M memory. And the CPU usage is total to ~110%
for two. The program takes at least 2 weeks to run
at the current speed. Is there some way we can
increase the usage of CPUs and memories and speed
up? Any suggestion is appreciated.
 
Thanks again.
