Well, I've played a little with those. Long story short: we shred Octave
to bits. Conversely, the R script you find on the Julia website is much,
much faster than ours, since it uses the "compiler" package, which gives
R JIT compilation.
Maybe, a the flag "using no JIT" should be added for gretl/hansl then.
These are results I've obtained on my Ubuntu (17.10) machine:
matlab(2014a) R (3.4.3) gretl (2017e)
recursion_fibonacci 53.87 5.00 107.87
parse_integers 13.45 2.00 3.22
userfunc_mandelbrot 4.31 11.00 144.89
recursion_quicksort 8.62 12.00 264.26
iteration_pi_sum 29.68 221.00 1750.23
matrix_statistics 28.27 71.00 17.20
matrix_multiply 26.31 67.00 22.33
print_to_file 711.43 648.00 382.34
I don't have Julia currently installed here...
@Sven: I guess you mean Andreas Noack, right? Could you contact him
about this?
Best,
