Thank you for reminding me, Gabor. I forgot to mention: So far, I have
run one test set of regressions using lm. It took R 270 sec. I need to
run 1,800,000 of those, which would imply 15.4 years of computing time
:)

I have not done the same for lm.fit because I am not sure how to get
model R squared from lm.fit.
