+1 for Paul's comment. I used to teach Efficient R and the best speed-ups people found were often from

- Using more compute
- Profiling to identify bottlenecks

This book is a bit out of date but has good concepts: csgillespie.github.io/efficientR/p...

If you still need parallel in R... ⬇️
7 Efficient optimisation | Efficient R programming
Efficient R Programming is about increasing the amount of work you can do with R in a given amount of time. It’s about both computational and programmer efficiency.

LB: Meta-research is like a pug wearing a pug-suit. We are doing research on research (less cute though!)
We looked at 25 meta-research studies including 2923 studies. Studies with statistically significant efficacy results are 30% higher among industry-sponsored studies than non-industry

After reading your post and your experience with usability research and log analysis I thought about @honeycomb.io @posit.co @databricks.bsky.social Unfortunately, I do not have any names or specific leads.
