Typically answers regarding shiny are not answered here (I do wish there was a 
SIG, however). With that said, are you saying that the object size is 
increasing for objects that previously were much smaller? Or, are other things 
now being saved into the workspace that were not there previously?

In other words, suppose you have some object called tmp. If you do 
object.size(tmp) on your older version and on the newer version are they the 
same size? Are the objects of the same class?

Subject: [R] Save creates huge files, dump doesn't

Dear list,
I noticed an extremely odd behavior... I have a rather complex shiny app which 
allows the user to store his/her state which internally obviously triggers as 
call to save as follows save(list=c("plots","gates","populations","cg", 
"genelists","colorscores",  "proj", "actds"),file=fname) this was all working 
fine until some time ago (?!?) files created by this command became several 
hundred MBs big... even thought the cumulative size of all objects in memory 
after load() is in the 10s of kB. 
Changing to
dump(list=c("plots","gates","populations","cg", "genelists","colorscores",  
"proj", "actds"),file=fname) solved the problem, output was then only 10s of kB.
(Why/when) is this behavior intended?
Best wishes,
Lars
