[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #46954] long initialization time of octave

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #46954 (project octave):

First, version 3.8.1 is ancient and no longer supported.  Unless you can
replicate this on the current stable version (4.0.0) there's not much to be
done.

Second, try a simpler test case.  Create a file called "stop.m" with the
single command


exit


and then run


time octave stop.m


For reference, this took 0.6 seconds of wall time on my computer. 

0.392u 0.316s 0:00.60 116.6%    0+0k 0+40io 0pf+0w


Also, try bypassing any initialization files you may have by running with the
'-'f switch.


time octave -f stop.m
0.332u 0.268s 0:00.44 134.0%    0+0k 0+48io 0pf+0w


This saved about 25% in my case.
