Hm.  I run octave as an Emacs inferior process, though in a different
op.sys. (Debian).  If I run this:

octave> for i=1:50000 i=i+1; if (mod(i,10000)==0) disp(i); endif; endfor

I get this:

 10000
 20000
 30000
 40000
 50000
octave> 

where the lines are printed at intervals of about one second's time.
Would you try my example above and let us know what happens?
