Hello, actually, when I was (wrongly) plotting a 1,500,000 × 8 data frame and had problems because the plot window was redrawn very frequently, I wondered whether this would be one task that could be given to a separate CPU than the one that deals with the command line interface of R. Do you think that it would be possible?
