*********************

Well, this is how you cen get your numeric vector of length 1e6

set.seed(111)
numbers0<-sample(0:9, 1e6, replace=TRUE)

If you want to get this number vector from the file it is better to use lists 
and lapply but maybe with loop it can be done too

First I prepare some data>

daf<-as.character(numbers0)
index<- 0:(1e6-1)
index<-index%/%5
lll<-split(daf, index)
lll<-lapply(lll, paste, collapse="")
daf<-do.call(rbind, lll)
dim(daf)<-c(20000,10)
daf<-as.data.frame(daf)

# here we have data frame similar to what you can get with read.table
head(daf)
     V1    V2    V3    V4    V5    V6    V7    V8    V9   V10
1 57353 75381 66866 52351 03707 13763 76897 67383 02972 37636
2 40540 52811 02521 18199 23236 64967 70123 46962 95347 47379
3 55001 55094 36922 08811 77704 99060 65902 28279 29131 98979
4 41936 77976 71345 84996 36865 11825 11024 90616 35653 10772
5 42339 89821 23790 62176 03266 36054 34882 06822 10087 05317
6 36275 45199 80796 54458 38836 87953 64394 02685 25788 19502
>
# now it is time transform data.frame to numeric vector
# Change to list, transform to character, split to items, unlist and make 
numeric
lll<- as.list(daf)
lll<-lapply(lll, as.character)
numbers<-lapply(lll, strsplit,"")
numbers <- as.numeric(unlist(numbers))
length(numbers)
[1] 1000000
> all.equal(numbers, numbers0)
[1] TRUE

all this is computed in less than 1 second, is it really so slow?

Cheers
