I didn't run this, but have trained machine learning models in the
past which run for a while. You should be able to do C-g to un-freeze
the cursor in Emacs, while the code will still be executed in your R
session. Try doing C-c C-c to start that block, C-g, and then C-x b to
switch to the R1 buffer. You should see that the cursor isn't on a
prompt, which means R is busy, yet you're free to move around in your
org buffer and keep writing or doing whatever you want, even though
the R session is tied up.

John
