Hi Jeremie, Maybe you can take a look at the bigmemory package. If you have multi core or have access to clusters, you may want to use any parallel computing strategy.
For plotting of large data, if you are using basic R graphics, first try to use "line" instead of using 'point', if this still doesn't working, you may want to try an alternative way by using qtinterface (R-forge project), install qtbase and qtpaint, they are still under development, but painting in QT interface is a lot faster for large data set.
