[R] getting faster results

[Berton Gunter]

Please read the posting guide and repost. Your question is too vague to
respond to sensibly.

Speed in R depends on two things: How you program and what sort of system
resources R has available (especially memory). OS's can certainly make a
difference, but this is a 2nd order effect, I think.
