For those who have older versions of Matlab (I have the 7.0 R14 Student Version), you will have trouble running the IDE itself -- it doesn't launch. I run

$ matlab -nojvm

in the Terminal anyway, so I never noticed this was a problem, but running without the Java Virtual Machine has many advantages anyway, such as that it uses less system resources and reduces crashes.

(In short, to fix a slow Matlab IDE in Leopard, don't use the IDE!)

$ matlab -nodesktop
