RE: R performance questions
...t the eigen() example
used
in that benchmark is computing mostly meaningless results.
In our experience, learning to use R more efficiently gives us the most
mileage, but large and fast hardware wouldn't hurt...
Cheers,

R performance--referred from Bioconductor listserv
Hi, all--
I wanted to start a (new) thread on R speed/benchmarking. There is a
nice R benchmarking overview at
http://www.sciviews.org/other/benchmark.htm, along with a free script so
you can see how your machine stacks up.
Looks like R is substantially faster than S-plus.
My problem is this: with 512Mb and an overclocked AMD Athlon XP 1800+,
running at 588 SPEC-FP 2000, it still takes me
