We are having trouble scaling STITCH to our data, about 30K rats sequenced with low coverage. I've done some experiments on a small subset of our data and found that a simple update to the STITCH/R/writers.R code has some benefits (attached). The update simply forces the garbage collector to remove an R matrix from memory that will be overwritten between iterations of printing results to vcf file.
