Subject: Re:  octave built under Cygwin very slow

Danny and Wolfgang,

It seems that I was a bit too quick off the mark just now - thanks Ben!

So, the obvious question is how to do a build with sjlj disabled that is 
consistent with the way in which octave handles exceptions.  Does 
-disable-sjlj-exceptions do it without throwing up unrequited references 
during the linking?

Just to satisfy my curiosity and I would think, Ben's, just what is sjlj 
(baby-talk, please) and is this yet another thing that I should know and 
care about?
