Four questions: (1) Is Splus faster (on a PC) under Linux than under Windows? I am specifically thinking of intensive loops here, but would also solicit information regarding how Splus stores information within the Linux system vx. Windows (2) Can Splus under Linux take advantage of multiple processors? I know there was some discussion on the listserv earlier about multiple processors, but I don't recall if the Linux OS was mentioned. (3) Is R capable of taking advantage of multiple processors under either the Windows or Linux OS? (4) How does R compare to Splus with regards to (1) above? Thanks in advance for any information - I will be sure to post a summary of the replies that I receive. If given permission, I will also post the email addresses of those persons who reply.
