Dear all,
in our current setting we have our packages stored on a (rather slow)
network drive and need to invoke short R scripts (using RScript) in a
timely manner. Most of the script's runtime is spent with package loading
using library() (or loadNamespace to be precise).
Is there a way to cache

My advice would be to avoid the network in one of the following ways
1. Store installed packages on your local drive
2. Copy the installed packages to a tempdir on your local drive each time
the script is executed
3. Keep an R session running in perpetuity and source the scripts within
that everla
Thanks for the quick responses. As you both suggested storing the packages
to local drive is feasible but comes with a size restriction I wanted to
avoid. I'll keep this in mind as plan B.
@Hugh: 2. would impose even greater slowdowns and 4. is just not feasible.
However, 3. sounds interesting - ho
Mario,
On unix if you use Rseve you can pre-load all packages in the server (via eval
config directive or by running Rserve::run.Rserve() from a session that has
everything loaded) and all client connections will have the packages already
loaded and available* immediately. You could replace Rsc
