[R] R and C++ compared with only C++

[Andrew C. Ward]

As always, it depends on your priorities and motivation. If
that extra 10% is important and if you can be bothered
writing the C++, then putting the whole thing into C++ may
be worth it. If not then you could let R deal with the
input and output.
