1) I recommend against using xls for very large data sets. (Not that xlsx is 
really that much better.) If you really think this is necessary you will 
probably need to split the data frame and write each element of the resulting 
list. See ?split.

2) Google tells me (as it could have told you) that you could choose another 
package or increase your memory allocation to java. [1] If you encounter bugs 
in packages, don't forget to use the maintainer() function as mentioned in the 
Posting Guide.
