optimizing-r

R performance profiling, benchmarking, and optimization strategies. Use this skill when code is running slowly, comparing alternative implementations, deciding between dplyr/data.table/base R, or implementing parallel processing. Covers profvis and bench usage, performance workflow, parallel processing with in_parallel(), data backend selection, modern purrr patterns (list_rbind, walk), and common performance anti-patterns to avoid.
