formatC slow? (or how can I make this function faster?
...x of capture occasions to format that an
external program can read. The job is to basically take a row of
matrix, like
> smp[1,]
[1] 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0
and convert it to the equivalent string "1101110000"
I'm having problems doing this in a speedy way. The simplest solution
(calc_history below, using apply, paste and collapse) takes about 2
seconds for a 10,000 x 10 matrix. I thought perhaps paste might be
building up the string in an efficient manner, so I tried using matrix
multiplication and formatC (as in calc_history2). This is about 25%
faster, but still seems slow.
