Dear list members,
I'm Kubuntu 8.10 + KDE4.1 user, but in other "older" kubuntu (8.04 + KDE3.5)
machine it happens the same strange think.
The performance of R graphic window under Linux are very poor compared with
MS WIndows, even if MS Windows is working under a Virtual machine: R under
Linux is more time consuming in performing a graphic plot.
In terms of time, R under Linux needs almost 10 seconds in order to
construct the attached graph, the result of this code:

pairs(USJudgeRatings)

while R under MS Windows requires less than 1 second!

Moreover, the graphic result is very poor, if I compare the resolution of
two graphic windows (see attached file, Linux ont he left, and Windows on
the right: the latter is really much better!!!)

What I'm doing wrong? Or, what is wrong in X configuration of our Linux
computers?
Remeber that R in MS Windows under virtual machine is 10 times faster!

Any suggetions?

Thanks,
