Avoid use of `data.table`, or block its multi-threading #36

Open pglpm opened 3 weeks ago

The package data.table can start several R threads, which leads to a slow down if this is done in an already-parallelized computation. Two ways out of this:

– Avoid use of data.table. Indeed I don't think we really need it (and I find some of its syntax a bit nonsensical)

– Use setDTthreads(1) when calling data.table.

I think the nicest solution is to avoid it, if that is possible.

I'll try to do this next.
