This has been an interesting discussion, and brings up two questions for me:
Is there a good collection of hints/suggestions for R language idoms in terms of efficiency? For instance I read not to use for-loops, so I used apply only to later read that "apply" is internally implemented as a "for" so nothing gained here. Warnings about pitfalls (such as nested loops), hints, suggestions would be great. The second question - is there some sort of profiling tool available that would make it easy to recognize where the script is spending most of its time? Might be especially useful for newbies like me.
