From bug-octave-request at bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu Mon Dec 6 11:17:01 1999 Subject: 2.1.19 Slow "source" From: etienne grossmann To: bug-octave at bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu CC: etienne at isr dot ist dot utl dot pt Date: Mon, 6 Dec 1999 17:12:28 +0000 (WET) Hello, This is just to tell the developers that there may be something wrong with the "source" function : I have a file "data/work/calib2/centers.m" of the form : ====================================================================== % % data/work/calib2/centers.m , created by any2m.m on Mon Dec 06 09:39:21 1999 imbase = 'data/images/calib_circles/calib2%02i.pgm' ; imsz = reshape([ 768 576 ] ,1,2 ) ; centers = reshape([ 22.3 90.47499999999999 ... something like 20395 lines, each with a single number on it ... 706.5321100917431 395.0137614678899 ] ,50,408 ) ; ====================================================================== This file cannot be loaded in Octave 2.1.19, whereas Matlab loads it about 2 seconds. Octave takes 30seconds to load smaller (4000 lines) files of the same kind. Is there a known cause of slowness in the "source" function? Do you think it is easy to fix?
