Hi there ... First I'd like to remind folks to keep themselves intimately familiar with the package checking results available at: http://www.bioconductor.org/checkResults/checkResults.html as that is what is happening on our end. Make sure to note the date stamp for the various platforms in case the checks happened before your last update to your package. Packages need to pass that check w/o errors and (with rare exceptions) warnings - so if you're seeing something on our end that doesn't jive with what you get on your end, please let me know.
Is there is mis-match between the pc and sun checks? For the limma package, the pc check seems to be on an older version of the package, one replaced 4 or 5 days before the date stamp on the check. There are quite a few packages which are generating errors or warnings for the pc check but not the sun, so could there be a general problem of some sort? Gordon
Another tidbit, pointed out to me by Robert ... people who are seeing slow performance in their packages and are making heavy use of split() should try this out. Apparently running split() on a named vector is much slower then one w/o names, so try removing the names from your vector before issuing your split() commands and see if that improves performance.
