I'm editing R code (under the "R" bundle), and having a number of issues where I keep getting the dreaded spinning beach ball, and have to wait a number of seconds before I can keep working. Notably, whenever I typing in command and then enter the first '(' there is a significant lag before I get the help pop-up. This is rather annoying, as typing in simple statements takes a long time.
I had suspected this was a 2.9 versus 2.10 help system issue, so I upgraded to R 2.10.0 and still had the issue. I also deleted all traces of 2.9.2 and earlier from my machine, and I still have the issue.
I'm running MacOSX 10.5.8. Perhaps I am seeing an issue for something different between 10.5 and 10.6, but I am unable to upgrade to 10.6 for the time being.
I don't know if this is related, but when I start the Rdaemon, I also see an error:
