Performance and Startup considerations

We advise that RStudio not be configured to autoload large data files. 

If using RStudio through OnDemand portal, please review this more specific guidance available on the OnDemand page.

Previous session data may interfere with startup of subsequent sessions. The above link discusses one known problem. There may be others, including the general issue of configuring the RStudio to even attempt reloading session data automatically at startup. We advuse ti avoid this temptation entirely.
