[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53867] Octave startup is extremly slow

[Rik]

Update of bug #53867 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Need Info

Follow-up Comment #1:

Something is wrong here, it should never take 20 seconds to launch the
program.  But we need some more information.

First, you reported that the operating system was Microsoft Windows, but there
is no 'time' program that I know of from Microsoft.  And there is no time.exe
in C:\Octave\Octave-4.4.0\bin so I don't know which executable it is actually
picking up.

Second, there are a lot of redundancies.  The single option '-f' is enough to
replace '--norc --noinit-file --no-site-file'.

Third, 'help' isn't a particularly good command to use when invoking Octave in
batch mode since it is an interactive command.

Can you re-test with


cd C:\Octave\Octave-4.4.0\bin
time octave-cli -f -W --eval "x = pi"
cd C:\Octave\Octave-4.2.2\bin
time octave-cli -f -W --eval "x = pi"
