[R-SIG-Mac] R 3.1.2 & Yosemite GUI slowness

[ALPEROVYCH Yan]

(Sorry if the posting is not in the right list)

I’ve just upgraded to R 3.1.2 (Yosemite machine, sessionInfo bellow) with and noticed strange behavior of the GUI. I work with scripts that produce a substantial amount of the printed output in the console. After about two full pages of console output the GUI starts to be very slow and laggy. This also causes the scrolling to lag and be choppy. The cure is to clear the console but this slowness reappears again soon enough with new printed output.

I tried to launch R from terminal, it there’s absolutely not issues alike in this case. I can easily print a data.frame with 26k rows and no lags whatsoever.

I don’t know what’s causing this but any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Yan
