Finally, there are many ways in which Octave is superior to MATLAB. Octave has proved faster on some speed tests (IIRC, this is in the archive from this list), but MATLAB is also faster than Octave on some things.


Generally, however, if you sit down and write m-file code to do some particular task, it will run faster in Matlab than Octave. Nonetheless, Octave is certainly "fast enough" for most small to moderate sized computations. For really large computations, your best bet is a compiled language anyway.
