Thanks to Berend and the others,

I've found a solution which works fine for my problem.

I have not only 2 vectors, but also 4.
Question is, if q1 and q2 is equal to w1 and w2.
The computational time is very short, also for large data.

q1 <- c(9,5,1,5)
q2 <- c(9,2,1,5)

w1 <- c(9,4,4,4,5)
w1 <- c(9,4,4,4,5)

v <- vector()
for (i in 1:(length(q1))){
v[i] <- any((q1[i] == w1) &  (q2[i] == w2))

This suggests a lack of understanding re: how to use logical functions. The any() function is completely superfluous here. It will return exactly the same vector as would:

q1[i] == w1) &  (q2[i] == w2)

If you wanted to use any() to pick out cases where either q1[i] == w1 or q2[i]==w2 then do not put an ampersand between those arguments but rather a comma.
