Follow-up Comment #3:

Thank you Lachlan for the patch.  I hope I can review it within the next two
weeks (awfully busy and all of Octave is volunteer-run).

Since Octave is used widely we generally try to write basic good code that
will perform well under a range of circumstances.  This includes doing things
like eliminating for loops which is good practice regardless of the particular
value of lambda.  A direct answer to your question is that I don't know what
value of lamda is more common.  I tried doing a search on scholar.google.com
to sample a number of academic papers and just see what values of lamda are
common in the literature, but it didn't work very well.
