Jordi,

thanks for the hint. I tried this too, as well as

CFLAGS="-g -O2 -pthread -fopenmp" mkoctfile-3.2.4 --mex covm_mex.cpp 
-lz -lgomp

CXXFLAGS="-g -O2 -pthread -fopenmp" mkoctfile-3.2.4 --mex covm_mex.cpp 
-lz -lgomp

In none of these case, more than one CPU core was used. The ratio 
between cputime() and wall time toc() was always close to 1, and also 
top showed only 100 % cpu usage at most; with openmp enabled, I saw up 
to 1200% at the 12 core machine.
