... I have exactly the same issue with R 2.3.1 . The Question is: Why is R unable to take more CPU space to make the calculation process go faster?
 
In my case no hardisk nor any network device is involved (data in RAM, 600 of 1024 MB filled) - and the CPU usage of the rgui-process does not exceed 50%.
 
Has anybody an idea? Is there a setting a can change?
 
Sincerely, Markus

Dear Michael: 

Why is it a problem that R is not using more CPU space than it seems to need?

Subject: [R] CPU Usage with R 2.1.0 in Windows 

Hi, 

I'm using a fairly simple HP Compaq desktop PC running Windows 2K. When running a large process in R, the process "RGUI.exe" will never exceed 50% of the CPU usage. 

The program used to be able to use more of the computer, but does not now. 
I don't believe this is a multiple processor machine. 

Can anyone give any advice on how to solve the problem? 

Thanks, 

Michael Greene
