Duncan, thanks very much for that very helpful hint. I got as
follows. My guess is that the first column in rdx$variables is an
address offset, and so it seems that the lion's share of the storage
is dedicated to items with names starting with a decimal point. For
example, the "[[" item is at offset of nearly 4M. I may try fiddling
with my code in which I specialize that method, to see whether I can
reduce the memory footprint. From what I can gather, both linux and
windows build argoFloats into a package with R directory of about
2.5M size, which is a lot better than what I get in macOS but still
over the warning threshold (I think) and therefore I worry about CRAN
acceptance.
The second column is the size, so actually the lion's share is
dedicated to things that are not being shown. They are indexed in the
rdx$references list, and are probably going to be harder to track
down, because they probably don't have names assigned by you.
For example, in the rgl package, I see
> rdx$references
$`env::1`
[1] 661 1037
$`env::10`
[1] 123952 221
$`env::11`

Presumably `env::1` is an environment which might be referenced by
several of the functions, and I'm guessing that one of yours is really
big. This can happen accidentally: you have a temporary local
variable in a function and create and save another function, or a
formula, or some other environment-using object, and save the useless
local variable along with it.
I don't have a good suggestion for figuring out what's in the bad
environment; maybe someone else can suggest how to read an object from
the .rdb file using R code. Internally R uses C code for this.
I think this can be done using lazyLoadDBfetch(key, file, compressed,
hook). "key" is c(128575L, 226L) for "env::12" above. See
library/base/R/lazyload.R. "file" is the .RDB file, "compressed" is
TRUE, "envhook" for this can be "function(x) NULL"
