Does someone here know of a way to display images in R that isn't slow?
Here are the things I've tried so far:

library(rimage)
i<-read.jpeg('foo.jpg')
plot(i)  # very slow

library(pixmap)
i <- read.pnm('foo.pnm')
plot(i) # also slow

chans <- getChannels(i)
image(chans[,,1]) # this is slow too

I also tried using library(cairoDevice) but it only makes everything look
beautiful without making the images fast.
