[Jprogramming] J's limit on space

[Björn Helgason]

9!:20
9!:21 *Memory Limit*. An upper bound on the size of any one memory
allocation. The memory limit is initially 2^30 on 32-bit systems and 2^62 on
64-bit systems.
It is probably more valuable to describe what you want to do and there
usually are various ways of solving your task.

It is often faster to handle a lot of data in one operation
