Re: benchmark.m version 1.3

[Przemek Klosowski]

This is a result of running octave on 75/90MHz R8000. Octave here is
highly 'pessimized' because I couldn't get reliable gcc under Irix
6.1, and therefore Octave is compiled under 32-bit Irix 5.3, and it
doesn't use the fast floating point instructions available on R8000.

Octave benchmark version bm 1.3
Speed of octave 1.1.1 on mips-sgi-irix5.3 relative to Sun Sparc 2
Matrix inversion (LAPACK)         4.44 +/- 13.9% (80 runs)
Schur decomposition (LAPACK)      3.09 +/- 0.0% (7 runs)
Differential equation (LSODE)     3.72 +/- 0.3% (7 runs)
Fourier transforms (FFTPACK)      3.48 +/- 0.4% (21 runs)
for loop                          4.14 +/- 1.2% (14 runs)
