The following cut command takes nearly 10 seconds on my machine even though the length of input vector is only 6. I am running on Windows Vista with C2D BLAS using R 2.11.1. Using the default BLAS and either R 2.10.1 or "R version 2.12.0 Under development (unstable) (2010-05-31 r52164)" also gives me results in the 9-11 second range. I would have expected it to take much less time.
tt <- structure(c(631206000, 631206060, 631206180, 631206240, 631206300, 978224400), class = c("POSIXt", "POSIXct"), tzone = "") system.time(cut(tt, "2 hours", include = TRUE)) # 9.45 0.01 9.58 R.version.string # "R version 2.11.1 Patched (2010-05-31 r52167)" win.version() # "Windows Vista (build 6002) Service Pack 2" ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
