John,
Attached is a patch using gnuplot's binary data input feature rather
than ASCII data fifteen characters wide. It does appear to speed up
drawing a fair amount. Less data is transmitted through the pipe,
gnuplot doesn't have to input data as formated, and as I see it there
is no need for handling NaN in a special way (it is just another
value in IEEE format).
Let me know what you think.

Dan, great idea.
Is it possible to optionally produce the ascii so that it may be saved
to a file for examination?
For example, the syntax below was used to save the gnuplot stream and
examined to determine why color interpolation was not working properly.
[... plot commands ...]
drawnow ("x11", "/dev/null", false, "debug.gp")
The plot can then be produced from a shell by
gnuplot --persist debug.gp
