I suspect all X will be similar within an order of magnitude, 
but dunno -- I did not 'tune' the workstation I tested on to 
be a racehorse, and there are ways to do that.  Your local 
admins will (should) know how

I guess with such dramatic speed difference, if R is part of 
your daily analytic toolset, I'd use those time trialling as 
the evidence to be lobbying for a local workstation to work 
in.  out of scope, here of course
