Hello,

I am working with a .shp file and reading it with the command
"readShapePoly()". After I transform it to a .nb object and lately to a
.lw, in order to calculate some spatial autocorrelation indices such as
Moran or Geary.

My problem is that it takes ages to compute both orders: "readShapePoly"
and "poly2nb".

Would it be any chance to simplify somehow my shape file in order to get a
shorter time of computation. After all, I just need to know which are the
neighbours of my polygons and the average distance to each of them.

Thank you very much,
