I want to observe how performant R is with really big data sets and make some comparisons to other statistical software. Is it possible to let R clock its calculations and operations? I need something telling me like "Last task took 43ms", or something like that.

Thanks in advance!

See `Sys.time` or `microbenchmark` package. – agstudy Oct 23 '13 at 12:38

@agstudy I think you mean `system.time()` – hadley Oct 23 '13 at 12:58
@hadley of course `system.time()`! – agstudy Oct 23 '13 at 12:59
Depending on exactly what you want, `Rprof` profiler can help too. – Carl Witthoft Oct 23 '13 at 13:02
