My experience is that turning off echoing of the script inside the R
buffer speeds things up dramatically.  You can try putting

(setq ess-eval-visibly-p nil)

inside your .emacs

In my impression this is very slow even for commands with low calculation demands (e.g. defining functions etc.) compared to other GUIs that I have so far tested (Rkward, Standard R-GUI). Does anyone of you experience similar issues? Or does anybody have an idea on where to search for hints to the problem?
