[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #39646] intermediate workspace display overload when executing 'test'

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #39646 (project octave):

You're right.  The slowdown isn't that dramatic, just a long test.  Here are
the results for my system:

Without GUI:

octave:1> tic; for i=1:100; test fftfilt; endfor; toc
PASSES 10 out of 10 tests
[snip]
Elapsed time is 10.1856 seconds.


With GUI:

>> tic; for i=1:100; test fftfilt; endfor; toc
PASSES 10 out of 10 tests
[snip]
Elapsed time is 12.467 seconds.


So it is about a 20% slow down.  This is consistent with other similar time
tests I've done.  So maybe the refreshing of the text isn't the problem but
more generally the way in which communication works between the GUI and the
core.

Nonetheless, perhaps the graphics shouldn't be refreshed until the system
becomes idle at the command line, i.e., after all is complete, a breakpoint is
hit, etc.
