This is pretty timely for me. I just ported some code that performs probability computations from Ruby to C for performance reasons. While I'm really pleased with the runtime, I was pretty unhappy with the implementation time. I need to extend this work for the next phase of the work I'm doing and have been contemplating moving to R, but have hesitated because I couldn't find any info on its performance. Now I have!
