Hi. Last week I updated from 32 bit etch to 32 bit lenny on an AMD SMP
machine. I first cloned the system disk to an identical drive, and
updated the cloned drive. I still have the etch install untouched on
the previous drive, which has allowed me to do some testing. After the
update R has slowed down significantly. A user brought this to my
attention, and at this point we have only tested one script (multiple
times, different days).
etch -> 48 seconds
lenny-> 4 min 5 sec
I compiled a kernel on both etch and lenny to see if there was a
comparable slow down.
etch -> 45 min
lenny -> 47 min 35 sec
So, the kernel compile is a a little slower on lenny.
During the upgrade there was an error of some sort about updating the
following packages:
r-base-core
r-cran-kernsmooth
r-cran-mgev
r-cran-cluster
I deleted those packages and continued with the upgrade. When the
upgrade was finished, I reinstalled those packages. Other than that
minor issue, the upgrade went really smooth. Cheers, Gary
