For many entries, it would be faster, if you just allocate
the array that should be written, by just writing 0 into it,
or empty strings or something like this...
 mydat[1:100] <- 0

Simpler is
   mydat <- numeric(100)

 > mydat
[1] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 [38] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
 [75] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
 mydat <- 1
 mydat[2] <- 33
 mydat[3] <- -4
 mydat
[1]  1 33 -4


instead of "mydat[1:100] <- 0"
use the length of the itemlist as second parameter.

Ciao,
