You second fit is of class c(aov, lm), the first of class aovlist. There is no way to plot a series of aov fits in different strata, but you can plot aspects of the individual fits: there is an example in (MASS4, p.284). In your case there is only one stratum of interest and plot(model[[Within]])

Just a minor correction and a simplification. The header=T is missing from read.table and as.is=1:2 could be added to avoid having to use as.character in chron. Also in your data (but not in Grace's) the default chron format is used so the format specifier can be omitted: require(chron) x -

You need to run gc() before running such timings in R, as the first run often has to pay for a level-0 garbage collection. That is normally the cause of (1), although I haven't seen differences as large as 10 secs (but have no idea of the speed of your machine, and have seen 3 secs). On Sun,
