Hi Folks, Sorry to raise what has probably been discussed before, but I an repeatedly struck by the comparative slowness of S-plus for Windows compared with R for Linux when doing much the same thing.
I don't have a direct comparison, because they're not running on the same machine; but machine W has a faster CPU and more RAM than machine L, yet S-plus on W seems to take longer by quite a big factor (of the order of 5x) than R on L. My instincts say that "WIndows" is probably a significant factor in the comnparison, but still ... Ideally, to compare R with S-plus, one should look at them both on the same OS (Unix or Windows) on the same machine. Can anyone give me clean comparative speeds? With thanks, Ted. -------------------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail: (Ted Harding) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fax-to-email: +44 (0)870 167 1972 Date: 20-Jun-03 Time: 14:22:02 ------------------------------ XFMail ------------------------------ ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help
