No wonder. As Riku Voipio wrote in a post to debian-devel-announce [1]:
"As most ARM CPUs do not have FPUs, armel is by default softfloat. The
old arm port has peculiar mixed-endian double presentation and it
emulates a FPU using kernel exceptions, which is *painfully* slow."
Perhaps some users will try Octave on armel?
