Tests with growing vectors in a loop in R
# The code below demonstrates that in R, growing a vector in a loop can be fast,
# as long as there is only reference to the object. When there's only one
# reference to the vector, R grows it in place (in most cases). However, if
# there are other references to the object, R must make a copy the object
# instead of growing it in place, leading to slower performance.
