For doumentation purposes I run a batch R program that does reshaping etc. 
of data and finally prints things.

When I paste the code into an R-window everything runs in a few seconds,
but in Batch mode i get in the output file the result below.

Any clues why R uses 4 min to print a 1129\times 6 dataframe in batch mode?
The scrit I use to run R is:

c:\stat\r\%R_VERS%\bin\Rterm --no-restore --no-save -q < %1.R > %1.Rl

and in the .Rl file i get:
