Have we actually established that Octave has indeed been running
slower over time?  There's been a lot of talk about it, but all the
measurements I have seen where by running the test suite and not a
real Octave program.

I think that before worrying about what tools to check where the
performance drop is, maybe we should get a set of programs that can be
used to confirm this slowdown.

For what is worth, I too have the feeling that Octave has been getting
slower over time, I just haven't actually got around to confirm this
with proper methods.
