I run x86_64 Linux and both 32-bit Windows XP and x64 Windows 7 on my
home desktop. So from years of experience of using the same hardware
on those OSes:
1) Generally Linux will be a bit faster, mainly because I do not
hobble it with
I'm not trying to start a Windows vs. Linux debate, but I've been
using R on a Windows machine for a while, and was recently wondering
if R's performance would be faster on a Linux machine. And similarly,
if any incremental increase in processing speed would be worth the
time it would take me to

Hi Brigid,
I haven't used it yet, but I would suggest profiling your code with 'Rprof'
on both a Windows and Linux machine.
?Rprof for details.
Hope this helps,

Others can discuss the comparative speed. I recently installed
Linux on a new quad core computer I purchased. I found it surprisingly
easy to learn how to do the things I needed. Now the hard drive is
dying on my Vista notebook computer. In shopping for a replacement, I
likely will
