Michael,

I liked a suggestion you made about making the threshold for JIT
acceleration customizable so I added a new function called jit_startcnt to
Octave
(http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/e6ddaa65a777?revcount=120). 
Eventually if we collect enough parameters we can have a jit_options
function.  For the time being, it was much easier to just have a single
variable with a getter/setter routine.  The startcnt is the minimum number
of loop iterations required before JIT acceleration takes place.  I left
the default at the current value of 1000.

Cheers,
Rik
