Hi, Is there a way to pass the address of a data.frame through a set of functions in R? I've got some code which is slowing down I think because my data.frames are getting much larger - now approaching 1 million rows by 50-100 columns - and my functions - originally written for much smaller data elements are sampling these data.frames a couple of layers down. Before I rewrite them to do the sampling at the top level if there was a way to pass the address of the data.frame instead of the a copy of the whole thing then I suspect that would speed things up significantly.
You could pass <it>'s name as a string and then when it arrived at the destination, ... get() it:
