I suspect that just using BATCH (it exists under Windows, right? this
is pure speculation) would be the right thing to do. Not having
Emacs running will save a few Mb, which when you start adding up swap
time, could be worth it.
Of course I agree that development with Emacs/ESS is the way to go,
but for long-term work (i.e. over 5-10 minutes), you might as well do
it externally.
