Depends on what you mean by unacceptably slow. Took me almost 20 seconds, during which time I got pretty fidgety.

> system.time(introns <- intronsByTranscript(TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19.knownGene))
   user  system elapsed
 18.741   0.204  19.340

How long did it take you, and how much RAM do you have?

Best,

Jim

Dear all,

When I try to use intronsByTranscript to get introns for hg19 known genes, I 
found it is unacceptable slow. Does any body has the same problem?

My code:
library(GenomicFeatures)
library(TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19.knownGene)
introns <- intronsByTranscript(TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19.knownGene)
