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
