Hi,
I am installing a lot of packages to a new R installation and it takes a
long time.
However the machine got 4 cpus and most of the packages are written in
C/C++.
So is it possible to add a -j4 flag to the make command when I use the
install.packages() function?
That will probably speed up the package installation process 390%.
See the Ncpus argument in ?install.packages.
