Hi,
Note that if your list of 200k data frames is the result of splitting
a big data frame, then trying to rbind the result of the split is
equivalent to reordering the orginal big data frame. More precisely,
do.call(rbind, unname(split(df, f)))
is equivalent to
df[order(f), , drop=FALSE]
(except for the rownames), but the latter is *much* faster!
Cheers,
H.

I have a list (variable name data.list) with approx 200k data.frames
with dim(data.frame) approx 100x3.
a call
data <-do.call("rbind", data.list)
does not complete - run time is prohibitive (I killed the rsession
after 5 minutes).
I would think that merging data.frame's is a common operation. Is
there a better function (more performant) that I could use?
Thank you.
