I'm guessing that 'tic' and 'toc' are hooked to some timer mechanism. Not too obvious.

Also when I used 'expression' I meant the ones being passed to the J timer, not the jumbo verb. I guess that wasn't obvious either.

Look closely at the posted code. Also, the J code "jumbo" did include the 1000 repetitions of the matrix multiply.

Let's be fair; I don't think the Matlab guy excluded the random number generation. The 1000 (or was it 1001?) repetitions of the matrix multiply should also be in the J expression, something I don't think I've seen. As far as I can see, the execution speedup of Matlab doesn't cover the extra time it takes to type in the Matlab code, assuming there are no typos in that long piece of Matlab.
