>What's your versioninfo? I used Version 0.3.0 (x86_64-apple-darwin13.3.0) on a 2013 macbook which took about 9.6 seconds to include the function, try to run it, and find the syntax error. On a 2009 iMac with version 0.3.2 of Julia (x86_64-apple-darwin14.0.0) it took 11.3 seconds. Just to be clear, it takes something like 3 seconds to load Julia, 26 seconds to load the PyPlot package (?!?!?) and then an additional 11.3 seconds after that to get the syntax error. I do not restart Julia every time.
The functions simulate a narrowband multi-antenna fading communications channel. To me it feels like a simple and straightforward script, but it may not be so simple for the optimizer.
