The following might be nonsense, as I have no understanding of R
internals; but ....
"Growing" structures in R by iteratively adding new pieces is often
warned to be inefficient when the number of iterations is large, and
your rbind() invocation might fall under this rubric. If so, you might
try issuing the call say, 20 times, over 10k disjoint subsets of the
list, and then rbinding up the 20 large frames.
Again, caveat emptor.
Cheers,
Bert
