[R] Runs Statistic

[Janusz Kawczak]

Dear R users:

I am trying to get the runs statistics for a very long binary sequences
and I ran into trouble with the sped  when using (probably too many) "if"
and "for" statements in my program. Let me explain what I would like to
see as the final output. Say, I have a sequence 1001101000. The runs vector
should be r=(1,2,2,1,1,3), i.e. counting similar subsequences. Also, it
could be treated as an independent question, the longest run is of
interest.

Just to give you an idea the length of the original sequences will be of
order 10^6 and greater.

Any help greatly appreciated.
Janusz.
