Re: Is octave slower than Matlab??

[Paul Thomas]

In general, octave vectorized operations run about as rapidly as those 
of Matlab.  On the other hand, fortran77 type code runs considerably 
slower when indexed references are used.  There was correspondence on 
the list about this, last year.

In order to vectorize programs, Matworks have posted this marvellous 
technical note that applies to octave as well.
