I was referring to running bench with and without atlas. But there are
many other uses of a bench function.
I have my own programs that provide a more useful measure of how fast
Octave will be for the type of work I do.
But it depends on octave-forge and it takes a while to set up,
requires a large data set, set paths etc.
We can all point out how meaningless the results of bench would be,
but sometime you just need a rough idea with very little effort.
You could even pop in Quantian on your friends new redmond box and run
Octave bench. You'd have a rough estimate of its Octave speed before
the 1-day Mothersboard Day Sale was over.
