[R] slow start-up

[Stefano]

Dear all,

I'm working with R 1.2.2 on win98 (256Mb RAM) with ESS 5.1.18.
It happens that the start-up is very slow. I don't know exactly how to measure, but with a simple watch I recorded 15 seconds, while the startup of S+ 2000 (Sqpe+4 under ESS) takes around 3 seconds.
Tha fact is that sometimes it takes almost a minute (58.30 sec recorded) for the prompt to appear! And ESS gives me an error
