Hello all, I came across<http://www.r-bloggers.com/performance-benefits-of-linking-r-to-multithreaded-math-libraries/> David Smith's new post Performance benefits of linking R to multithreaded math libraries<http://blog.revolutionanalytics.com/2010/06/performance-benefits-of-multithreaded-r.html> Which explains how (and why) REvolution distribution of R uses different BLAS math libraries for R, so to allow multi-threaded mathematical computation. What the post doesn't explain is why it is that native R distribution doesn't use the multi-threaded version of the libraries. Is it because R-devel team didn't get to it yet or is it for some technical reason. Could someone please help to explain the situation?
Thanks in advance, Tal p.s: I wasn't sure if to send the question here or to R-devel, I decided to send it here.
