Technically, the bottleneck describes how the information transfer might be slower than the processing speed, but in R, RAM and SSD transfer is the most relevant example.
The problem with R is the amount of RAM it needed to store all the object you need for the analysis. I watched a Veritasium video about the von Neumann Bottleneck and realize that exactly the term needed to explain this concept.
I am unsure if the designer of R wanted R to do this, but for myself that wants to make sure things are easier to manage, this is exactly the thing that I would do :P
