saving harddrive space while archiving results #203
Description
In case its useful to anyone, I'm recording my experience with managing harddrive space. Essentially, simulation experiments require saving many outputs from sdreport, which includes a slot env that is often large for models with many random effects (>10MB, which is prohibitive for thousands of simulation replicates). I've modified TMBhelper::Optimize to delete the env slot when auto-archiving estimates, but this then prevents summary from working as it does normally. This problem can then be circumvented by explicitly calling TMB:::summary.sdreport on the sdreport output that is missing slot env.
@kaskr, do you think its worth modifying summary.sdreport to work on an sdreport object that is missing the env slot?
