[R] Question for svm function in e1071

[adschai at optonline.net]

Hi,

Sorry that I have many questions today. I am using svm function on about 180,000 points of training set. It takes very long time to run. However, I would like it to spit out something to make sure that the run is not dead in between.  Would you please suggest anyway to do so? 

And is there anyway to speed up the performance of this svm function? Thank you.
