As I said, the PD MATLAB available for Amiga is a pain in the ass when you've
run PC-MATLAB(tm) (which is commercial and costs quite a lot of money.)
I currently have two different versions of Amiga MATLAB and they are both
like swimming in glue. But I guess if I buy an accelerator with 32-bit RAM
and 68882 it will go faster... One shouldn't really expect a program running
on a 7 MHz Amiga to be as fast as on an AT with FPU running at 16.

The thing is I miss all those tools avalible in PC-MATLAB and not in the Amiga
version.
