(This last statement above is your comment, not mine. Please attribute correctly.) What you write here about code and performing libraries is elementary, of course, but my point is, that comparing apples to apples (i.e. code to code), RStudio slows down computing because it makes a bigger demand on memory (over that demanded by R, which is common to both). For cases where you would see a difference using the Intel compiler over the OSS one, you will experience a bigger hit using RStudio than using vanilla R.
