Meanwhile I tried it on Apple M1 CPU. My octave managed by homebrew starts in fact as octave-gui - even with „--no-gui“ command line switch. To get the command line variant of octave one has to run the octave-cli binary. To execute the command line binary 100 times on my system I have to wait 18 seconds. With the GUI command it takes 36 seconds. I propose to apply Pavels patch and be done with it - if it is save on all platforms.
