'*' as a font name is a disadvantageous choice: the font selection
mechanism of the x-server searches through all the fonts to find
one which matches the name (there is a speed difference between
specifying '*' and the name of a non existent font) and has the
selected font size - in the normal x-server installation first the
bitmapped fonts are searched then the scalable.
you can see this by specifying different font sizes: different
fonts (sometimes even none) are selected.
to make the plot fast select the name of a font which exists.

Gnuplot x11 drawings in Octave 3.2 appear displayed much slower than it is
usual. This slow-down can be reproduced in gnuplot by e.g.:
set terminal x11 close
test
set terminal x11 close
set title "Hello world" font "*,12" # no effect to speed
set xtics font "*,12" # makes slow drawing
plot sin(x)/x
This slow-down is caused by
set xtics font "*,12"
while the font specification in "set title" does not slow gnuplot down.
Note that using "set terminal wxt" does change its speed after the font
command.
What can be the reason? Could the speed be improved?
The delay of replotting is rather boring when working with Octave on a
laptop running on battery :-(
