> nobs = 1e6 # One million observations for each column
> std_norm = matrix(rnorm(nvar * nobs),nrow=nobs, ncol=nvar) # N(0,1)

Thank you to @userr11852 for pointing out to me that there is a better way to calculate the difference in performance between SVD and Cholesky, in favor of the latter, using the function microbenchmark
. At his suggestion, here is the result:
microbenchmark(chol(corr_matrix), svd(corr_matrix))
Unit: microseconds
expr min lq mean median uq max neval cld
chol(corr_matrix) 24.104 25.05 28.74036 25.995 26.467 95.469 100 a
svd(corr_matrix) 108.701 110.12 116.27794 111.065 112.719 223.074 100 b
