Speed Tests for R

I've created a set of speed tests for R, primarily intended for assessing speed improvements from patches to the interpreter, but also useful for comparing machines, compilers, versions, etc. It is intended only for use on Unix/Linux systems.

The tar file is here (version of 2011-06-08).

To get an idea of what it does, you can look at the REAME file, and at some example plots, which compare the speed of R 2.11.1 with the speed of R 2.13.0, with and without my speed patches and with and without compilation. (These files are also in the tar file above.)
