The only thing I think R cannot do is compact its memory, thus,
effectively, leaking it in _some_ situations.

The rest are just my humble questions...

PS. speaking about "complaining", my pet peeve atm is the speed (or,
rather, lack thereof) of e1071 functions read.matrix.csr and
write.matrix.csr (they are implemented in R, not in C, and do a lot of
string manipulation, so they slowness is not surprising)
