Can you give some more details about this?  I don't think there should
be a significant difference in performance between a version of OCtave
that uses shared libraries and one that does not.  OTOH, there was a
bug reported recently that caused Octave to be much slower for the
second (and subsequent) functions loaded from a single .oct file.
That bug has been fixed now, so if it is what caused problems for you,
then I'd recommend trying again with the latest version of Octave.

As Paul said, you might get it to work, but it is not the way things
are designed to work.
