R version
One of the relatively easy optimizations available is to use an up-to-date version of R. In general, R is very conservative, so upgrading doesn't break existing code. However, a new version will often provide free speed boosts for key functions.
The version
command
returns a list that contains (among other things) the major and minor version of R currently being used.
