Hiding in the windows faq is the observation that R's computation is
single-threaded, and so it cannot use more than one CPU. So multi-core
should make no difference other than allowing R to run with less
interruption from other tasks. That is often a significant advantage,
though.

Dear R-users,
I use R to run spatial stuff and it takes up a lot of ram. Runs can take hours
or days. I am thinking of getting a new desktop. Can R take advantage of the
dual-core system?
I have a dual-core computer at work. But it seems that right now R is using
only one processor.

I ran a bayesian simulation sometime ago and it took me 1 week to finish
on a debian box (Dell PE 2850 Dual Intel [EMAIL PROTECTED] 6GB). I think it
depends on the setting of the experiment and whether the code can be
parallelized.
