Hi,

Looks like Benilton is right:

  > slotNames(pa)
  [1] "pattern"           "subject"           "type"
  [4] "score"             "substitutionArray" "gapOpening"
  [7] "gapExtension"
  > sapply(slotNames(pa), function(sname) object.size(slot(pa, sname)))
            pattern           subject              type             score
              17056             17056                96                48
  substitutionArray        gapOpening      gapExtension
           35295336                48                48

I'm not sure why the substitutionArray would need to be stored in the
returned object (what downstream method use it?). Would need to check.

Ditto.

But isn't it just the result of the resulting object 'pa' containing the
substitutionArray slot (100 x 100 x 441 array of doubles)? Maybe
scoreOnly=TRUE is relevant in some cases?

Hi all,
I just realized that serialized PairwiseAlignmentsSingleSubject objects
grow ridiculously large:

x <- "xxxabcdefghijklmnopqyyy"
y <- "abcdhijkzzzzlmnpqr"
pa <- pairwiseAlignment(x,y)
save(pa, file="~/tmp/pa.rda")
file.info("~/tmp/pa.rda")
                 size isdir mode               mtime               ctime
~/tmp/pa.rda 22651025 FALSE  644 2012-11-02 09:23:09 2012-11-02 09:23:09
                           atime   uid   gid    uname   grname
~/tmp/pa.rda 2012-11-02 09:23:07 11281 11281 hahnefl1 hahnefl1



22 MB for this trivial alignment seems to be a little excessive.

Interestingly, the object itself has a quite impressive memory footprint:
object.size(pa)
35308996 bytes


Any idea what is going on here? Look like a memory leak to me.
