Hello!

I have conducted following experiment running simple R script:

for (i in 1:10000) {
    a<-0
   for (j in 1:1000)
     a<-c(a,j)
}

profiled R.dll using Intel Vtune and obtained following results!!!

Func. Name              Clocticks
locale2charset          46,58%  
R_RunWeakRefFinalizer   20,85%  
Rf_eval                 8,77%   

Rf_eval takes only about 9% of CPU time, a huge overhead on checking 
locale character set!!! It seems that is the problem with family of 
functions: c(), rbind(), cbind()
