[R-sig-Geo] really slow plot of Portugal

[Agustin Diez Castillo]

Hi,
I don’t know if this is related with the crisis, but Switzerland works wether Portugal or Spain take forever and even freezes R. Same with spplot. Any clues? 
# Switzerland
library(sp)
con <- url("http://gadm.org/data/rda/CHE_adm0.RData")
print(load(con))
[1] "gadm"
close(con)
plot(gadm)
system.time(plot(gadm))
  user  system elapsed 
 0.026   0.001   0.028 
system.time(spplot(gadm))
  user  system elapsed 
 0.022   0.000   0.022 

#Portugal, sometimes the session got halted for a while, even with the system claiming that R is not responding (in mac)
con <- url("http://gadm.org/data/rda/PRT_adm0.RData")
print(load(con))
close(con)
[1] "gadm"
system.time(plot(gadm))
  user  system elapsed 
556.032   1.133 565.243

#Spain
con <- url("http://gadm.org/data/rda/ESP_adm0.RData")
print(load(con))
[1] "gadm"
close(con)
system.time(plot(gadm))
  user  system elapsed 
62.595   0.237  62.974
