Measuring memory is challenging of course, but actually I had been under the impression that the discussion was about speed, so an example would certainly help clarify! Maybe [Rcollectl](https://vjcitn.github.io/Rcollectl/articles/Rcollectl.html) would...

The plan sounds good; thanks for your engagement on this. One thing might be to reconsider a special case for SerialParam -- there's value in having consistency across back ends,...

Thanks @zeehio this looks great! Can you 'squash' this into a single commit maybe with ``` git reset --soft ad15c8f git commit --edit -m"$(git log --format=%B --reverse HEAD..HEAD@{1})" ``` (from...

Thanks @zeehio that was really helpful; I added you as 'ctb' to the DESCRIPTION file.

`_R_CHECK_LIMIT_CORES_` is actually a maximum number of cores in the {parallel} package. ``` > Sys.setenv(`_R_CHECK_LIMIT_CORES_`=2) > mclapply(1:8, function(...) Sys.getpid(), mc.cores=3) Error in .check_ncores(cores) : 3 simultaneous processes spawned ``` so...

Hmm, maybe noting that it's not clear how to make a hard limit, for instance an environment variable or R option can be overwritten by the user doing 'crazy' things......

I closed this with 3f65b9a7618861ea25b0515ee09ebc1daa418a96; it seems like there are situations where the requirement is to limit as much as possible the number of workers, so not providing advice but...

The banner can be useful in bug reports, and the 'best practice' recommendation for use (e.g., `BiocManager::version()`) doesn't attach the package. So it made sense to have the message in...

I chose not to emphasize using library() because I wanted commands that the user sees to be fully resolved and therefore not subject to namespace collisions -- the natural interpretation...

Thanks @HenrikBengtsson; I shy away from that level of complexity.
