Hi I'm observing a huge difference in the performance speed of R on Windows and Unix, even though I know that my Unix machine is much more powerful than my Win machine. In particular, any character processing task is very time consuming on Unix.
strptime(x,"%H:%M:%S") is about 10 times slower on Unix for vector x of the length of ~ 500. read.table() also is very slow. is there any way to speed up these ? Thanks a lot, Vlad. ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help
