That's likely going to be highly costly in terms of temporaries if
you're doing this often to do that, specifically. Instead of moving L,
just create N as
N=[R; L(1:end-1,:)]; clear L
In place you can try
L=circshift(L,1); L(1,:)=R;
or permutations of the above idea but I suspect they'll be slower than
the previous although you can test it out...
