They're both designed around completely in-memory arrays, which are passed around by-value with a copy-on-write scheme.
For R there is the bigmem package for mmapped arrays. And the "compiler" JIT packace is included since R 2.13.
I've seen that link before. See above re: one group's willingness to talk about the shortcomings versus another organization's preference to paper over it with marketing.

The datasets I'm typically working with are quite large 300GB-1TB (I have 2TB ram on my main server). I've tried both R and MATLAB and R has been a disaster. Even to plot say 10 million points on a graph is a pain.
