[R] Parallel computing on Windows (foreach) (Sergey Goriatchev)

[Steve Lianoglou]

Hi,

I think I lost the reference email somewhere, but:

> Not only is the sequential foreach much slower than the simple
> for-loop (as least in this particular instance), but I am not quite
> sure how to make foreach run parallel. Where would I get this parallel
> backend? I looked at doMC and doRedis, but these do not run on
> Windows, as far as I understand.
