Working with huge files is different from plotting that many
points. My current guess is that since Octave communicates with
gnuplot through pipes and temporary files (or has this changed?), you
had to send a ridiculously large amount of data to gnuplot.

I am guessing that MacOS X's console must log this information
somewhere, accounting for the huge logs, but I don't know anything
useful about MacOS X, so I could be wrong.

What was the task, exactly? I'll wait until you can show us the code.

Yes, thanks for remembering to keep the conversation on list so that
others may participate.

If I could further kindly request that you do not top-post replies to
me (top-posted replies look really horrible in the mailing list
archives), I'd be grateful.
