 It is best not to speculate, if you can give us hard data we can have
 a look at what the possible problems are (but there are far too many,
 most with nothing to do with R or BioC).

 R has two functions you can use to see what the problems are, or
 might be. One is system.time and the other is Rprof (the man pages
 will tell you how to use them). Running them in both 1.9.1 and 2.0.0,
 and comparing the results will be most helpful in tracking down what
 the issue really is.
