Posting under new subject. I’ve a question on saving a earth object to disk. Say m is the model then print(object.size(m), units=”Mb”) 163.8 Mb and save it off save(m, “tmp.rda”) and “tmp.rda” is roughly 171Mb file.
I would like this to be much smaller. So I try m$bx<-NULL then print(object.size(m), units=”Mb”) 14.9 Mb Great! however when I save it off save(m, “tmp.rda”) and “tmp.rda” is roughly 171Mb file – the same size. I do not care about the size of the file per se, I care about loading a smaller object at a future date. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/object-size-versus-saved-size-tp4373478p4373478.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
