osx - How can I prevent R eating up all my RAM? -
i use mac os x 10.6.8 (yeah, it's old mbp works)...
still, think there's not working properly. machine gets dead slow there should around 1.12 gb left:

i have feeling memory not allocated r program. here no other software running, , r doing stopword removal operation on 600 mb corpus.
(i'm posting here because dont believe make apple.stackoverflow feel free migrate better forum).
how can "free" inactive ram either system or running application?
i not sure of actual application, if storing large datasets in memory, 1 way reduce memory usage delete them after no longer needed using rm(). example, if load large dataset "alldata", , filter "filtereddata", best remove alldata rm(alldata) if not being used anymore.
