Re: Benchmarking Octave 322

[Corrado]

How is that for a laptop?

octave:1> benchmark
Octave benchmark version bm 2.3
Speed of octave 3.2.2 on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
  Pentium II 350 MHz has score 1.0, higher numbers are better
Matrix inversion (LAPACK)        14.98 +/- 0.1% (252 runs)
Schur decomposition (LAPACK)     54.52 +/- 0.4% (322 runs)
Differential equation (LSODE)    40.81 +/- 0.2% (980 runs)
Fourier transforms (FFTPACK)     23.09 +/- 0.4% (609 runs)
for loop                         75.20 +/- 3.6% (1365 runs)
-- Performance index (bm 2.3): 36

octave:2>

I think I could still optimise Matrix inversion though
