[no subject]

[Jordi Gutierrez Hermoso]

Of all the complaints I have heard about Octave, its slowness is the
one that stings the most painfully. Cuts deep. Real deep.

So, I'm interested to know, any idea why this is happening? Why would
a simple for loop with no code to execute except running through all
the values of its iterator take orders of magnitude more in Octave
than in Matlab?

Where are these benchmarks?
