Runing R in the Command Mode in the Window system

Just when I am about to convert myself into a Linux user, I found this. Running R in the command mode in the Window system is much faster. Here is a simple test:

in the Window interface:
> system.time(rnorm(1000000)%*%rnorm(1000000))
user system elapsed
1.06 0.05 1.14

in the command mode
> system.time(rnorm(1000000)%*%rnorm(1000000))
user system elapsed
0.70 0.01 0.72

So it is two times faster to run the above test in the command mode than to run it in the Window interface. Then I go on to run R2jags with 8 schools example with 10000 iteration. It finishes the whole updating quick. It is almost as quick as I would have run it under the Linux system. Hum, maybe I will do my statistical analysis with R in the command mode from now on!!

So how exactly can I do this?

In Window XP, Start --> Run, and type cmd.

In Window Vista, Start --> in the search bar, type cmd.

Hi, Yu sung,

I am running some codes in openbugs. The code can be run in the winbugs but not in the openbugs.

Here is the error message:

model is syntactically correct
data loaded
model compiled
model is initialized
model is updating
****** Sorry something went wrong in procedure Updater.Derivatives in module UpdaterDFreeHybrid ******

Here is my code:
model {
for (i in 1:N) {

for (n in 1:n.inteval) {

labda1[i,n] <-inprod(G0[n], I0[i,n]);
G0T[i,n] <- inprod(G0[n],dt1[i,n]);

}

If you could give me some help in how to find the problem, I am really appreciate.

Thank you so much!

I am running into the same problem with OpenBUGS, but WinBUGS runs ok, can't find solution.
