[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #37509] `load -z` is very slow

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #37509 (project octave):

Interesting, I see the same thing on my Debian development setup, but on RHEL5
I see a completely different error when it tries to load a gz-compressed ASCII
file as in your testcase


octave-3.6.3:1> load random.dat.gz 
error: load: failed to load matrix constant
error: load: trouble reading ascii file `random.dat.gz'
error: load: reading file random.dat.gz


This error does not occur in 3.6.1 but does occur in 3.6.3.

If I change your script to save with -ascii or -binary (keeping -z), this
error goes away, and the slowdown also goes away.
