Your script uses tic() and toc() which uses the wall-clock timer. If you
machine
is not fully dedicated to octave, any other running task will slows down octave
and tic().. toc() will measure the real time and not the cpu time needed by
octave to complete the task. See "help tic", which recommends using cputime
(), see also the example in that help topic.
