Thank you, I can run off and do some more tests with this information. I think the culprit on my development machine is that Xcode needs to be upgraded and then I can use -mtune=core2. I have one small follow-up question. I thought the compilation flags for building src/extra/blas had changed from version 2.12.0 to 2.11.1. But you suggest maybe they haven't changed?

I did try ATLAS and did not see performance improvements. But that attempt was without -mtune=core2. _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Mac mailing list R-SIG-Mac@stat.math.ethz.ch https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac
