[R] Vector Size

[jim holtman]

How much memory do you have on your system?  What type of system do
you have?  There is information in the archive about generating a
sequence like this without having to have it all in memory at once.
BTW, your matrix will require 1GB to store a single copy, so you will
probably need at least 2-3X (2-3GB) to create it and do something with
it.
