memory race
5 messages · steven mosher, Michael Lawrence, Steve Lianoglou
In case it helps with diagnosis: I don't replicate this behaviour on my system, running OSX 10.6.5 and R 2.11.1. I also updated to R 2.12.0 and still failed to replicate the reported behaviour.

I recently started getting what I can best describe as a memory "race" condition in my R ( OSX 10..5.8) It started a while back with R2.11, so I upgraded to 2.12 and have the same issue System Updates have been installed. Then ?2.12 was installed. Updates for X11 installed. The phenomena appears like this. Starting R (64bit) from the R.app icon R launches and consumes roughly 50mb of memory. If I open a script and merely highlight text in that window the memory consumption runs up to 1.3Gb and the system grinds to a halt. I even lose window focus temporarily. After a few minutes the memory is released and I get cursor control back. Then it will race again, Running R from the terminal ?R --vanilla did not exhibit these issues. Any ideas? ? ? ? ?[[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Maybe you have some "ghost" data file that are being loaded on R startup? Look to see if there is a file named ".RData" in your home directory. What do you see when you run this command from the terminal? $ ls -ald ~/.R* If you see an .RData file there, either delete it, or rename it to something else since R will try to load this file if it finds it there (unless you start R with --vanilla, or --no-restore-data) -steve
