How slow is "extremely slow"? On my computer it takes 0.6 second, that
is much slower than straight gset/replot/gset sequence but still tolerable.
"print" is an .m file; it has process command input, figure out
gnuplot command line etc --- lots of "eval" , "if" etc which are
not particularly fast octave operations.
If it takes much slower than a second on your computer, could you try to
use different terminal (postscript e.g.) and see if the problem
persist. What is your OS/hardware platform?

BTW, new gnuplot (4.0) has different png terminal with different options
and that broke print.m. I am not sure how to fix it and keep
backward compatibility...

Dmitri.
