...out to be a factor of >1000. The code is below. We would be grateful if anyone can point out any egregious bad practice in our code, or enlighten us on why one approach is so much slower than the other. The problem arose in an activity to develop guidelines for nonlinear modeling in ecology (at NCEAS, Santa Barbara, with worldwide participants), and we will be trying to include suggestions of how to prepare problems like this for efficient and effective solution. The code for nlogL was the "original" from the worker who supplied the problem. Best, John Nash -----------------------...

Hello R-users, is there a speed gain in submitting R code in batch mode as opposed to the normal interactive. I searched the R website and the archives, and only found a reference R-data.html that "to read in very large objects it may be preferable to use the dumpfile as a batch script rather than source". Is this true for any R code on both Windows and Linux systems, and how much speed
