I have a data structure that is fast to dput(), but very slow to dget(). On
disk, the file is about 35MB.
> system.time(dget("r.txt"))
user system elapsed
142.93 1.27 192.84
The same data structure is fast to save() and fast to load(). The .RData file on
disk is about 12MB.
> system.time(load("r.RData"))
user system elapsed
4.89 0.08 7.82
I imagine that this is a known speed issue with dget, and that the recommended
solution is to use load, which is fine with me. If so, perhaps a note to this
effect could be added to the dget help page.
All timings above using
R version 2.12.0 (2010-10-15)
Platform: i386-pc-mingw32/i386 (32-bit)
