user value and convert the seconds to days and then to hours ? Right?

What about this elapsed field?

It's all in seconds.  Convert whatever fields you want.

That being said, doesn't having an elapsed time of over 67 seconds,
when the actual calculation takes less than half a second, indicate
that something weird is going on?  At the very least the R calculations
are fighting for resources with some other very greedy processes.
