A common mistake is using the default base R without optimization. Here’s how to install or reinstall R correctly for heavy data tasks.
sudo apt remove r-base-core --purge
sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/R
After reinstall, test with a minimal script:
install.packages("bench")
bench::mark(1:1e7 + rnorm(1e7))
This should run in <1 second on modern hardware. sexart juniper ren slow down 26022025 r install
Install av package – it’s much faster than ffmpeg bindings:
install.packages("av")
library(av)
video_info <- av_media_info("sexart_juniper_ren_slow_down_26022025.mp4")
frames <- av_video_images("sexart_juniper_ren_slow_down_26022025.mp4",
format = "png", fps = 1)
This will not slow down R if you limit frames. system
The numeric string 26022025 likely refers to 26th February 2025. In troubleshooting, such a date might appear in:
Action: Check for .RData or .Rds files from that date. Delete and reload fresh data. A common mistake is using the default base
# Find and remove problematic cached file
file.remove("~/26022025_juniper_cache.Rds")
If binary packages are unavailable for your OS (e.g., Linux with custom R), R compiles from source, which is CPU-intensive.
