Right!
This is a Babel Gnuplot issue, not a Babel Core one.

My findings:
1- Babel Gnuplot generates two temporary files with identical content.
2- This consumes most of the time for large Org tables.
3- This is a Babel Gnuplot issue (only).
4- Babel Core put constraints on the parameters of functions
(xxx:gnuplot) (which is fine).

To bypass the second file generation under those constraints I have
found no other way than a temporary cache.
