Why use a loop here at all? It seems like this would do it pretty fast:
Re <- rnorm(n = 2e+06, mean = - 1)
> system.time(Re <- rnorm(n = 2e+06, mean = - 1))
[1] 0.77 0.01 0.78 NA NA
I'm not sure what you expect Re to be (a list with 100000 vectors of
length 20?), but you could reshape one long vector into a matrix or
whatever you might need. For example:
Re.mat <- matrix(Re, ncol=20)
