configuring R-2.6.0 for speed
Hi I have checked out R-devel from subversion and configured it with the following command ./configure --with-blas='-framework vecLib' CFLAGS="-g -O2 - march=nocona" CXXFLAGS="-g -O2 -march=nocona" FFLAGS="-g -O2 - march=nocona" FCFLAGS="-g -O2 -march=nocona" followed by make && make install. This works in the sense that R starts up fine. However, my session seems to be very slow compared to R-2.5.1 (which I had installed from the binaries at CRAN). Slow means for example that loading a large RData file takes much longer. Is there any configure flag I am missing? What are the exact configure command used to build the CRAN binary? (I am using the latest version of OS X on an Intel MacBook with the newest Xcode and the gfortran from CRAN). Jim
