If you are on Windows press the Windows key and type in Power Options. When the associated dialog pops up choose Power Saver. Now your PC will use less power so it won't heat up so much although your performance could suffer a bit. Also ensure that there is sufficient air circulation around the machine. -- Statistics & Software Consulting GKX Group, GKX Associates Inc. tel: 1-877-GKX-GROUP email: ggrothendieck at gmail.com ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
