[R] Simple... but...

[Wacek Kusnierczyk]

it's clear, he wants to combine x and y s that the result is (x[1],
y[1], x[2], y[2], ...), unless i am confused as well ;)

now, both rbind(x,y)[1:length(x)] and as.vector(mapply(c,x,y)) do the
job, but the former is *much* faster:

t1 = function(n) as.vector(mapply(c, 1:n, 1:n))
t2 = function(n) rbind(1:n,1:n)[1:(2*n)]

system.time(t1(10^6)) # ~7sec
system.time(t2(10^6)) # < 1sec

system.time(replicate(10^5, t1(10))) # ~20sec
system.time(replicate(10^5, t2(10))) # ~1sec
