Actually it does - see "R_ParseVector" and "eval". You're free to run the parser once (or even construct the expression directly) and evaluate it many times. (Also note that you can serialize the parsed expression if desired). If your worries are really at this level, then you will have to create entirely your own solution, because the overhead of IPC will be way more that the time spent in the parser. Actually I'm wondering whether you checked it at all, because I'd almost certainly expect the evaluation to take way more time than the parsing step. If it does, I'd be inclined to think that you have rather a design problem.
