It appears that the runtime for an R script can more than double if a few
references to a function foo() are replaced by more explict references
of the form pkgname::foo().

The more explicit references are of course required when two
loaded packages define the same function.

I can understand why use of this mechanism is not free in an
interpreted environment like R, but the cost seems rather high.
