[R] Fastest way to extract rows of smaller matrix many times by index to make larger matrix? and multiply columsn of matrix by vector

[Jeff Newmiller]

That is about as fast as it can be done. However you may be able to avoid doing it at all if you fold V2 into a matrix instead. Did you mean to use matrix multiplication in your calculation of M3?
