I tried "time configure" in gnuplot several times for each shell and 
took the fastest time.

shell         real       user      sys
       bash   0m11.924s  0m6.848s  0m2.980s
       dash   0m11.822s  0m6.888s  0m2.816s
static dash   0m11.977s  0m6.804s  0m3.064s

dash would be 0,9% faster, which is not statistically significant when 
measuring like this.
