I did not take the time to review in detail the solutions on SO, but here is one approach for rotation, albeit, not fully tested:

> mat
     [,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,]    1    0    0
[2,]    0    2    0
[3,]    0    0    3


# Rotate right
> t(mat)[, ncol(mat):1]
     [,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,]    0    0    1
[2,]    0    2    0
[3,]    3    0    0


# Rotate left
> t(mat)[nrow(mat):1, ]
     [,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,]    0    0    3
[2,]    0    2    0
[3,]    1    0    0




big.mat <- matrix(rep(0, 3000 * 3000), ncol = 3000)

> str(big.mat)
 num [1:3000, 1:3000] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ...


> system.time(mat.right <- t(big.mat)[, ncol(big.mat):1])
   user  system elapsed 
  0.273   0.000   0.273 


> system.time(mat.left <- t(big.mat)[nrow(big.mat):1], )
   user  system elapsed 
  0.094   0.000   0.099
