[R] byte coding compiling.....

[akshay kulkarni]

Dear members,
                          I am using pbmclapply, the progress bar version of mclapply, from the parallel package. The point is, pbmclapply is three times faster than mclapply, and I think the most probable reason would be that pbmclapply is byte code compiled (I can think of no other reason).

I know the cmpfun function from compiler package. If I do:

> cmpfun(mclapply)

will the job be done? The point is mclapply may look for other functions in the parallel package. So I have to compile the whole package right? How do you do that? or in general, how do you byte code compile a whole package?

Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
AKSHAY M KULKARNI
