  Has anyone successfully checkpointed and restarted R using any of the 
linux process checkpointing solutions I find when I google for 'linux 
process checkpointing'? I cant see why you'd bother implementing 
checkpointing within optim() if you can do it at the process level and 
hence in the middle of anything.

  Unless you're running Windows.

An example and some links here:
