Is R using 0% or 25%? Again, if R was using 25% while showing the prompt and waiting for user input, that would be a bug in R. Or do you mean R is using 0% and total CPU usage *temporarily* increases 25% *while* R is running? If so, this could be the result of some security feature...? not sure because this is outside my area... I just found the following feature. If you open powershell, one can run: ps | sort -desc cpu This could be used if you want to show people what's happening.

Anyway, the plan is to shift to Debian or OpenIndianna, and run ReactOS via virtualization... ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
