Scilab benchmarks

Tested on:
Intel Core 2 Duo 6600 @ 2.4 Ghz
3 Go Ram
Vista 32 bits 6.0 (build 6000)
including ATLAS Library

This benchmark is available on www.sciviews.org, a site dedicated to the distribution of various open source (free) scientific software. Please refer to this website to have more details about tests.

The tests were run 50 times and the mean value is recorded. See results to appreciate the improvements of the new Windows version 4.1.
