Hi Thomas,
I just did some tests of the Octave.app 2.9.14 against my HPC version of
octave 2.9.9. The two versions are quite comparable now, though the HPC
version does seem marginally faster.
Here are my results (Mac OS X 10.4.10, 2.1 GHz PPC G5). The
#!/Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/bin/octave
shebang line is version 2.9.14 and
#!/usr/local/bin/octave
version 2.9.9.
Regards,
Vic
