Hi
I'm observing a huge difference in the performance speed of R on Windows and
Unix, even though I know that my Unix machine is much more powerful than my
Win machine.
In particular, any character processing task is very time consuming on Unix.
strptime(x,"%H:%M:%S") is about 10 times slower on Unix for vector x of the
length of ~ 500. read.table() also is very slow. is there any way to speed up
these ?
Thanks a lot,
Vlad.
