Thanks both of you for help!

This is my conclusion based on Rolf's and David's suggestion: (x=data.frame)

By "for-looping" over a data.frame and deleting certain rows with
x=x[-i,]

its better to collect all rows which need to be deleted in a vector and do
one final delete step:

collecting: vector=append(vector,i)
x=x[-vector,]

cheers,
sven
