Hello Mr. Eaton,

I am currently using Octave 1.1.0 for spectra analysis ; It's great ! I have 
been writing some data analysis library for it.

The problem is that it seems to be desesperatly slow (don't take it personnaly 
!).

I have been launching some data smoothing using Lagrange interpolation, and it 
lasts for about 20 minutes. Would you say that it is normal ?

In fact the question is to know if it is possible to really compile some 
source code for Octave into an external executable file in order to increase 
computation speed.

Thanks a lot.
