R help - Apr 2014 - R speed test - for processor and for RAM size

Hello!

I am sorry if my question sounds naive; it's because I am not a computer
scientist.
I understand that two factors impact a PC's speed, the processor and
(indirectly), the RAM size.

I would like to run a speed test in R (under Windows). I found lots of
different code snippets testing the speed.
However, I'd like to get some hints or find a code that (loosely) has:

(a) Aspect A that makes the code run faster if the processing speed of the
PC is higher.
(b) Aspect B that makes the code run faster if your PC's RAM is larger

Even if the 2 Aspects are not 100% independent, it would still be OK. I am
just trying to isolate the impact of those 2 things (processor and RAM) on
speed of this code.
This way our IT people could change some parameter in the code that impacts
Aspect A or another parameter that impacts Aspect B.

Thanks a lot for your hints!
