Dear useRs, I timed the same code (simulation with for loops) on the same box (dual Xeon EM64T, 1.5 Gb RAM) under 3 OSs and was surprised by the results: Windows XP Pro (32-bit): Time difference of 5.966667 mins 64-bit GNU/Linux (Fedora Core 4): Time difference of 6.966667 mins 32-bit GNU/Linux (FC4): Time difference of 9.2 mins (R 2.1.0 binaries downloaded from CRAN)
I searched the archives and found out I should compile a non-SHLIB R binary. Is there something else I should pay attention to when trying to make R faster under GNU/Linux? Thank you, b. ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
