Oops! I apologise for the spam.
It sounds like this is either the same as bug 694770 (plot2d
stunningly slow in some simple cases), or 880767 (can't plot 1/0, but
won't stop trying...), both of which sound like they're fixed in cvs
with adaptive plotting.
Either way, adding the plot2d option [y,-20,20] works around the
problem in 5.9.0.
Thanks for maintaining such a great app!
