for loop is slow. cumsum is faster. filter is fastest.

A JIT compiler would be great. But I'd rather have a function that
automatically converts m-file code into oct-file code. Then you could
easily compile m-file code that contained for loops:

>> m2oct myfunction myfunctionoct
>> mkoctfile myfunctionoct

Plus you could tell mkoctfile to compile myfunctionoct as a
stand-alone application, which would make it easier to share with
friends that don't have Octave.

Which is harder to create, a JIT compiler or a function that
automatically converts m-file to oct-file source code?
