[R-SIG-Mac] R timings

[Jan Deleeuw]

This  is  without  an  extra  optimizations. We  compare  a dual 
1.25Ghz  G4
with  a dual  2.0  Ghz  G5. Both  run  R-1.8.0beta  and  OS  X 10.3B74. 
The
G4  has  2GB  of  RAM, the  G5  has  only 512MB (at the moment).

hilbert<-function(n) 1/(outer(seq(n),seq(n),"+")-1)
print("hilbert n=500")

print(system.time(eigen(hilbert(500))))
print(system.time(eigen(hilbert(500))))
print("hilbert n=1000")
print(system.time(eigen(hilbert(1000))))
print(system.time(eigen(hilbert(1000))))
print(system.time(eigen(hilbert(1000))))
print("sort n=6")
print(system.time(sort(rnorm(10^6))))
