I'm not trying to start a Windows vs. Linux debate, but I've been using R on a Windows machine for a while, and was recently wondering if R's performance would be faster on a Linux machine. And similarly, if any incremental increase in processing speed would be worth the time it would take me to migrate my entire system to Linux (including a database that I access via an R package.)
I don't know how much it matters what R is doing - but I've got R pulling a large amount data from a database, performing many complex computations on that data, and then writing output data to a database. Thanks so much for the input, Brigid ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
