title: Is there a way to do load balancing in a foreach loop on windows system
body: <p>I am running a foreach loop that does some costly computations--takes about 24 hrs. What I noted is that after 21 hours the cpu usage drops from 100% to 50% with about 50% cores/threads still running while 50% are complete, which suggests that load balancing is not correctly taking place. I know how this can be fixed in linux but have no clue with a windows system. I am using the Snow package along with foreach in <strong>R</strong>. Your help is greatly appreciated.</p>
