Since R 1.4.1 I am using R for various purposes on my Mac (OS9 and OSX10.3) and I am quite happy with it. However, recently I tried to update the binaries to 1.7.1 or 1.8, only to find that I have to wait for a painfully long time after doublecklicking R to start the application until I can type my first command.
Does anybody know, why versions 1.7. and above are so much slower than my old 1.4?
Is that only on my Mac or does everybody experience that?
Is there anything that I could do to speedup starting R?
Thanks for any help. Laurence --
