Benchmark DataCamp's machine

The benchmarkme package allows you to run a set of standardized benchmarks and compare your results to other users. One set of benchmarks tests is reading and writing speeds.

The function call

res = benchmark_io(runs = 1, size = 5)

records the length of time it takes to read and write a 5MB file.

Instructions
100 XP
  • Find the time it takes to read and write a 5 MB file. Assign the result to res. (Do not attempt to read and write a 50 MB file. Your session on DataCamp may crash)
  • Compare DataCamp to other users via plot(res).
