Dear George,
I think it will depends on the amount of memory that each your session will
need.
Case each session use a big amount of memory, may be your some of your
sessions will get error. I also think that you will not save time if you
start several dataset at same time, because windows is windows.
Errrr, you obviously never tried. Please don't speculate.
For CRAN, we are installing and checking all > 1600 CRAN packages on a
Windows machine in less than 5 hours, because it runs in parallel on 8
CPU cores. In scaling is almost linear up to the number of actual CPU
cores in your system - as long as a sufficient amount of memory is
available.

By other
side, I think that on linux you can get better results.
Good luck.

Hello,
I use R on a Microsoft Windows machine.
Is it possible for me to open multiple windows of R, have them run the same
program but for different data sets, and get accurate results? It takes 8+
hours to run the program so I want to multitask as much as possible.
Thanks in advance,
George Chen
