I ran the simple script bellow and received shoking results. It was complied for about 15 seconds !!! on modern Intel Core Duo computer.
i=0; while(i<5000000) { i=i+1; } Using Visual Basic I can complete the same script (simple loop of 5000000 itterations) in 0.1 sec. Is it realy R not suitable for huge computing. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/R-perfomance-question-%21%21%21-tp17984154p17984154.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
