Hello,

I just noticed a significant delay when first run octave and it turns

Looks as if your build was linked to X11 instead of Carbon.  If you add the flag "--with-framework-carbon" to ./configure, X11 will not be required to build or run Octave.  This assumes you've linked to fltk-aqua. (X11 may still be needed by gnuplot).
