question about performance on different operating systems
...think that R for the Macintosh is running at
_least_ 10 times more slowly than under linux.
To give you an idea, to run a small number of simulations takes around 80
seconds on my laptop (running Debian linux, 200MHz processor, 112 megs RAM)

normal when changing operating systems.
