I am sorry, I do not really know why I misinterpreted your perl script that 
much, maybe I am blind or it is because it is easter weekend. What I wrote 
here is of course nonsense.

Nethertheless I would check what happens if you send exactly the same data via 
perl to gnuplot as octave produces it - just to see the effect.

Meanwhile I tested on an old sandbox machine (1 GHz, 512 MB Ram) with opensuse 
11.2 your script

Linux linux-slmv 2.6.31.12-0.2-default #1 SMP 2010-03-16 21:25:39 +0100 i686 
athlon i386 GNU/Linux
gnuplot 4.2 patchlevel 5
GNU Octave, version 3.2.4
Octave was configured for "i686-pc-linux-gnu".
(octave installed from packman repositiry)

and your original octave script. Even with that old machine and wxt as 
terminal, the animation looks fluent, can something be screwed in your 
environment?
