Could you clarify ?

I have not yet tested octave-3.0.0+
as I was busy building all the needed libraries
to fully compile octave on cygwin

Qhull-2003.1
Hdf5-1.6.7
glpk-4.21     
SuiteSparse-3.1.0   
fftw3-3.1.2  

all source and trial package are on
http://matzeri.altervista.org/

I need still some work to make packages fully
compliant with cygwin guideline.

after this package effort I will submit a patch
to handle this and the cyg*.dll / lib*.dll.a problem.
The current solution I put on 
octave-3.0.0-1.src.patch
it is brutal twick.

Std gcc-3.4.4-3.
I have not compared against your build, but
I know that is 4 times slower than Linux x86_64
on your testOregoB.m test case. 

Have you tried Gcc 4.3 ?
