[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #59277] xls2oct and/or openxls behave unexpected

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #16, bug #59277 (project octave):

(Dennis, this comment just in between the scenes, I'm heavily occupied by
other things)
I looked a bit in your  __OCT_xlsx2oct__.m  changes. 
At first sight it boils down to just eliminating the for loop; that can
explain a *LOT* of performance gain - for loops are known to grind execution
speed down excessively.
(Hmmm I wonder how/why that for loop came there (or stayed there) in the first
place.)

What you can also do is (as I suggested earlier) replace 
cellfun (@function, ...)
by
cellfun ("function", ...)
(e.g., L.152 in your the  __OCT_xlsx2oct__.m  you uploaded lastly, in comment
#14, and see if it has any significant effect.
(see https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58445, look in comment #11 there)
I need to replace all cellfun invocations that way but lack time ATM.

(OK now I really need to get (paid) work done :-) )
