I've used serial communication between AVRs (for example ATMega32) and
GNU Octave with baudrates of 500 kbaud without any problems. Do you use
interrupt driven serial out on the AVR side? Is the output buffer big
enough? For reading the data in GNU Octave I suggest reading bigger
chunks at once (perhaps 500 Bytes) and then split it, put the rest back
in the input buffer and draw then.
