   I've done many benchmark on diffrent PC's (486, 586 and 686). It
   seems that the g77 compilator is less efficient the f2c
   translator. 

This is another (or the same?) mistery about octave 2 performance.  In
particular, the test on Schur decomposition is slower for octave2 than
for octave1 on Sun and Alpha.  This seems to be not true for Intel.
