Re: speed of octave interpreter

[Paul Thomas]

David,

It is also worth recalling the correspondence around that time about 
vectorization.  The slow tests can be speeded up by one or two orders of 
magnitude by replacing fortran77 style code with "vectorized" code.  I 
remind everybody of this excellent technical note from the other 
product, which applies just as well to octave:
