[R] Element-wise multiplication

[GiusVa]

Dear members,

The code I am writing heavily use element-wise multiplication of
matrix and vectors, e.g.

X, is nxm matrix
e, is nx1 matrix

Doing Z=X*e[,], I obtain a nxm matrix, Z, where each column of X is
multiplied (element-wise) by e. Is this the best way to achieve the
result I want? By best way, I mean the fastest way. By profiling my
code, 45% of the time is spent by "*" and even a 30% speedup in
obtaining Z would greatly benefit the total speed of the code. 

Aby suggestion is greatly appreciated.
