Putting a space between the commas makes no difference when I try it.

\code{x[ind, , ]}

does work for me, and furthermore it is how R itself formats the code:

            

      
      
      
    

        
function ()
{
    x[ind, , ]
}

so it's not ugly, it is correct.  I do wish posters to R-help would
make use of spaces in the way R itself does.

That's not to say that Rd.sty does not need to protect against this.

It's a quirk of using ae.sty, and \code not being a proper verbatim
environment.

,, is the notation for a quotation mark for a European language.  As that
does not exist in typewriter font, it is mapped to a black square by the ae
package.

A TeX workaround is needed ....

Hi!

I have an slow process in R because
I'm using an laply() with a long list.

The process is very slow now, but I'm
using a very old machine with only 64k of
RAM. I want to buy a new machine but
I would like to calculate, at least as 
an approximation, how long would
my process take for different RAM 
configurations, so that I can take 
a decision based on cost/speed information.

Could anyone tell me how I could estimate
the gain in CPU time for increasing RAM? I
understand that the key variable is the relative
size of the memory that has to be allocated vs.
the RAM: if all can be fit in RAM, then the process
will be very fast. Perhaps I should just calculate
the size of the memory that the process allocates?

Thanks

Agus
