Similar results here. Configuring on Athlon 2200 gives
1. octave 2.1.57:
sh = ash
real 2m48.347s
user 4m13.299s
sys 1m25.203s
sh = bash
real 2m38.129s
user 4m11.777s
sys 1m23.915s
2. netcat 0.7.1
sh = ash
real 0m56.847s
user 1m29.808s
sys 0m30.186s
sh = bash
real 0m57.015s
user 1m28.878s
sys 0m29.338s
3. mc 4.6.1-pre4
sh = ash
real 2m13.248s
user 3m31.685s
sys 1m9.772s
sh = bash
real 2m10.112s
user 3m30.198s
sys 1m10.563s
