Can we determine the precise condition for gnuplot taking an exceptionally long time on Windows? Is it (a) a new installation of the gretl package, or is it just (b) the first invocation of gretl plotting in a given Windows session ("session" = period from booting Windows to halt or reboot)? Helio's "loading to memory" suggests (b), but Yinung's observation seems to be that (a) is the problem case.
