Your script uses tic() and toc() which uses the wall-clock timer. If you 
machine 
is not fully dedicated to octave, any other running task will slows down octave 
and tic().. toc() will measure the real time and not the cpu time needed by 
octave to complete the task. See "help tic", which recommends using cputime
(), see also the example in that help topic.
