[R] R File IO Slow?

[ramzi abboud]

Is R file IO slow in general or am I missing
something?  It takes me 5 minutes to do a load(MYFILE)
where MYFILE is a 27 MB Rdata file.  Is there any way
to speed this up?  

The one idea I have is having R call a C or Perl
routine, reading the file in that language, converting
the data in to R objects, then sending them back into
R.  This is more work that I want to do, however, in
loading Rdata files.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
