Say one molecule takes the renderer 1MB memory, then 1000 would take one TB... I think it would be better to have a table where you select one molecule which is then displayed in a Jmol Panel... basically, just like the DirBrowser and the RSSViewer plugins... I'm not sure how firing up a table works from R, so it might be tricky to get a custom JPanel (split with table left and one jmol right, or somthing like that...) displayed from R...
