R help - Jul 2022 - byte coding compiling.....

Dear members,
                          I am using pbmclapply, the progress bar version of
mclapply, from the parallel package. The point is, pbmclapply is three times
faster than mclapply, and I think the most probable reason would be that
pbmclapply is byte code compiled (I can think of no other reason).

I know the cmpfun function from compiler package. If I do:
> cmpfun(mclapply)
will the job be done? The point is mclapply may look for other functions in the
parallel package. So I have to compile the whole package right? How do you do
that? or in general, how do you byte code compile a whole package?

Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
AKSHAY M KULKARNI

Unlikely

See here:

Byte code compilation should be automatic in both cases, as I understand
it. Of course, I could be wrong due to special features of parallel
programming, etc.

A reprex might be helpful here.

Cheers,
Bert
