Hi,
I've been playing around with the R source code a little; mostly just trying to familiarize myself. I have access to some computers on a reservation system; so I've been reserving a computer, downloading and compiling R, and going from there.

I'm finding that R takes a long time to build, though. (Well, ok, maybe 5 minutes -- I'm impatient :-) ) Most of that time, it's sitting there byte-compiling some internal package or another, which uses just one CPU core so leaves the system mostly idle.

        I'm just curious if anyone has thought about parallelizing that process?

Thanks,
Adam
