Yes, I agree. How does one conceptually achieve polymorphic behavior without
instantiating 100,000s of instances? Perhaps one way around this is to
represent the data in an efficient R way -- i.e. a data.frame -- and create a
set of re-usable singleton instances of different node types. To pe
Interesting conclusion. Alternatively, that representation of your object model
may not be computationally effective. This discrepancy may be less exaggerated
in C++, but you may still find that large numbers of objects are less efficient
in their use of memory or cpu time than vector processing
Good tip. Thanks Morgan.
I agree that a different structure might (necessarily) be in order. I wanted
to create a tree where nodes in a tree were of different derived sub-classes --
possibly holding more data and behaving polymorphically. OO programming seemed
ideal for this: lots of small th

love to use it, but I've found that the size of refClass instances are very
large and creation time is slow.
