[Scilab-users] Scilab 6.0.1 extremely slow on new (high-end) laptop

[antoine monmayrant]

Hello Ludovic,

No, I've never seen something like that.
But it's sure you won't get the same build under Win10 and a vanilla 
linux install.
On Windows, I know you can choose between Intel optimized libraries and 
base ones, and on linux, it depends on whether you rebuild for your 
machine or use the default binaries from the repos.
If you use a version that was optimized for a different CPU, you might 
not get the best performance.

Here is what you can try:  you can boot the very same usb linux live 
session (recent Ubuntu for example), install scilab and run a test 
script on both your old and new laptop.
That way we could try to compare two situations where only the machine 
is changing (not the os, not the scilab build).
If you want, I can try to run the same script on different machines 
ranging from really old to fairly new...

Cheers,

Antoine
