I am interested in knowing the speed of R on Mac OS X. Can anyone run
the following code? It runs on a Pentium III 600 MH with 57 seconds.
Please indicate the hardware configration. Thanks in advance.

   hyper <- function(n1,n2,m1,psi)
   {
      mode.compute <- function()
	  {
	     a <- psi - 1;
		 b <- (m1+n1+2)*psi + n2-m1 ;
		 b <- -b;
		 c <- psi*(n1+1)*(m1+1);
		 q <- b + sign(b)*sqrt(b*b-4*a*c);
		 q <- -q/2;
		 
		 return(c/q);
	  }	 
	  
      N <- n1+n2;	  
      l <- max(0, m1-n2);
	  u <- min(n1, m1);

	  mode <- mode.compute()
     
	  return(mode);
    }	  
	
	print(date());
	sum <- 0;
	for(i in 1:100000)
	{
	  odds.ratio <- exp(runif(1));
	  sum <- sum + hyper(50, 50, 50, odds.ratio);
	}
	print(date());
	print(date());
