speed up R_IsNA, R_IsNaN for vector input
Dear R developers,
I spotted that R_isNA and R_IsNaN could be improved when applied on a
vector where we could take out small part of their logic, run it once,
and then reuse inside the loop.
I setup tiny plain-C experiment. Taking R_IsNA, R_IsNaN from R's
arithmetic.c, and building R_vIsNA and R_vIsNaN accordingly.
For double input of size 1e9 (having some NA and NaN) I observed
following timings:
R_IsNA 6.729s
R_vIsNA 4.386s
R_IsNaN 6.874s
R_vIsNaN 4.479s
ISNAN 4.392s
It looks like R_vIsN(A|aN) are close to ISNAN (which just wraps to
math.h::isnan).
Should I follow u...

speed up R_IsNA, R_IsNaN for vector input
...e optimization is biased
towards the case that such values are rare and that it is ok to
sometimes say "there may be non-finite values" even when in fact they
are not.
Best
