Maybe you have large, ignored files in the package directory? R first
creates a copy of the whole directory and only applies `.Rbuildignore`

THANKS - you solved my question without me having to answer it. As I am using a makefile to build the package, I can easily rename the ignored directories before calling build.
But the question is why are these ignored directories scanned before building the package? They should be ignored anyway?

A makefile is a good idea, but I would rather move the files that are
needed to a temporary directory, instead of temporarily renaming
unneeded files, because if the makefile fails, then you won't restore
them and your project will be in a broken state.
