I have seen one very nice paper that compared parallelization options for R:

I would like to disclaim that I haven't had the time to parallelize any of
my R scripts. That being said, I noticed that many of the packages above
implement parallelized versions of the apply() functions. Maybe taking
advantage of apply wherever possible is a way to ensure you can get some
benefit from parallelization without rewriting large portions of code.
Hope this helps!
