Re: compare the executive speed with Matlab

[Michael Goffioul]

It's usually much appreciated that such comment comes
with a concrete example demonstrating the problem.

Saying "octave is slow" is quite vague and nobody will
try to help you, because we just can't figure out why
octave is slow for you. Saying "octave is slower than
Matlab on this piece of code" is much more helpful.
