>R is extremely slow at a lot of tasks, for one thing, even more than Python.
Base R is quite slow. R + data.table is faster than Python + Pandas in a benchmark that I did recently.
For a 1 million row CSV file, Read + Sort + self-Join + Write took on a Windows box:
Base R: 47.56s
Python + Pandas: 6.44s
R + data.table: 2.99s
