[R] storing large data.frame's

[Meinhard Ploner]

I am new on R, so I have a maybe naive question:

if I have many large data.frames and I use only one or two per session, 
what's the best way?
If all are stored in the actual .Rdata, the system gets slow.
On the other hand, I wouldn't like to make a separate package for the 
data.

Should I save it with save() and then remove it with rm() ?
Could I reload it then?

Thanks for suggestions

ps my system: R 1.4.1 on mac/darwin.
