 This works great:

Really ? surprising given it is the EXACT same for-loop as in your
original problem with counter "i" replaced by "k" and reorder to
matrix[!100]<- 0 instead of matrix(0)[i]<- 100
You didn't even attempt to implement Carl's suggestion to use apply
family for looping (which I still think is completely unnecessary).

The only logical conclusion is N=nrow(input) was not large enough to
pose a problem in the first place. In the future please use some brain
power before waisting ours.
