RE: Very slow reading of a 2D matirx

[Alireza]

Thanks,
I knew about the octave's ascii format, and the reason for avoiding it was
that the data is automatically generated by a tool that only understands
matlab format.

This question is still there, why octave is so slow when reading matlab
format ascii data?
