From help-request at octave dot org Wed Mar 16 15:15:25 2005 Subject: Octave very slow on Cygwin From: "Reiner Suikat" To: Date: Wed, 16 Mar 2005 22:22:01 +0100 Hello everybody, I have just installed octave-2.1.67 and the current octave-forge froms source on a fresh Cygwin installation running on a Windows XP-2 system. I did this because I wanted some of the more recent functions compared to the old 2.1.50 windows binaries available on Sourceforge. Now to my surprise I find that the old 2.1.50 windows binary is much faster than the new installation, at least by a factor of 3-5, on anything having a lot of loops in it. Does anyone have an explanation for this or know how I can get faster code in Cygwin?
