Hello
I have carried out on the mingw platform. The situation seems to be
the same.
Octave-3.2.4(Bejamin altas 3.8.2)
octave:1> a=randn(1000);
octave:2> tic; svd(a); toc
Elapsed time is 3.76562 seconds.
octave:3> tic; [u,s,v] = svd(a); toc
Elapsed time is 25.2969 seconds.
3.3.51+(Build myself on May 26, 2010, altas 3.8.2)
octave.exe:1> a=randn(1000);
octave.exe:2> tic; svd(a); toc
Elapsed time is 3.01562 seconds.
octave.exe:3> tic; [u,s,v] = svd(a); toc
Elapsed time is 25.2344 seconds.
