Dear all, I am writing to the mailing list because GNU Octave 3.6.2 is very slow in my system. I am using Kubuntu 12.04 in a dual core Dell XPS M1330. When I write slow, I compare with Octave 3.2.4 that I had with Kubuntu 11.10 in the same computer, running the same script.
Unfortunately, I do not have any quantitative measurements of the speed of the 3.6.2 version compared to the speed of the previous version, but there are a couple elements to remark: 1. I downloaded the source code for Octave 3.6.2 and compiled it, whereas I installed the previous 3.2.4 version from the binaries available from the Ubuntu repositories. There may be an optimum option given at the time of compilation that may make the execution faster. 2. The packages installed are: Package Name | Version | Installation directory ---------------+---------+----------------------- miscellaneous | 1.1.0 | /usr/local/share/octave/packages/miscellaneous-1.1.0 optim | 1.2.0 | /usr/local/share/octave/packages/optim-1.2.0 struct | 1.0.10 | /usr/local/share/octave/packages/struct-1.0.10 symbolic *| 1.1.0 | /usr/local/share/octave/packages/symbolic-1.1.0 Any ideas where to begin looking? Thank you very much in advance.
