Hi Alfredo,
 
Wilfrieds code is without doubt the fastest, but not memory safe!
 
calc calls the function for each pixel, so "x" is a single pixel (if "test" is 
a single layer), I think this makes calc slow.
 
If the solution below is still to slow, you could think using more cores if you 
machine has some.
 
cheers, Matteo

Hi,

I've to replace NA value with zero in some raster.

I use the raster package.

Is there a faster method than this:

funNA <- function(x) {x[is.na(x)] <- 0; return(x)}

test <- calc(test,funNA)




Alfredo
