I noticed that plotting with the new Octave version 3.0.1 on Macports is very slow compared to older versions of Octave, e.g. 2.1.71. In the old Octave, small plots appear instantaneously, probably before the Return key hits its stop. In Octave 3.0.1, there is a lag of about a second--enough to be slightly annoying. On larger plots, the problem gets much worse. Plotting a 100,000 point vector on old Octave takes 3 seconds but on Octave 3.0.1 it takes 21 seconds.
I suppose this is something that I should take up with the Octave people but I thought I'd tweak this list and the maintainer just in case it is something obviously wrong with this particular version. BTW, the first time or two that I tried to make a plot (simple, like plot(x, y)) with the newly installed version of Octave from Macports, it failed completely and emitted about 10 lines of Octave-related errors. One or two restarts resulted in plots being made, but slowly, as noted above.
