MATLAB executable too slow

I converted my matlab program into Console based application using the deploytool in matlab. The matlab .m file takes around 2 seconds to execute but after I converted it into an executable form and called the .exe it takes 45 secs to execute which is too much. I want to integrate the matlab program with php. Is there any other efficient and fast way to do this? In my project, time is really a big factor(not the developing time but the execution time of the application) so any method that takes less time? I saw in the internet that we can write php extensions to call the matlab is this method fast or the same as calling the .exe file? Is matlab coder any help for this process? If there is any alternative options please mention it.

Hi, did you get solution to this issue? My standalone also takes long time to load though I am using a splash screen but it's still creating issuses.

In some circumstances, MATLAB Production Server is a good solution to slow startup.

Start-up times for the executables will be slow, as it will go through the equivalent of starting up MATLAB itself.
This does not apply for MATLAB Coder, which generates C or C++ directly. However, there are quite a few things that are not supported in MATLAB Coder.

If you are using deploytool to compile your code, under Project - Settings-Toolboxes on path uncheck any toolboxes that aren't needed by your executable. I recently had this issue and the above steps cut the executable file size in half and significantly reduced the start time of the executable.

"on path" might be misleading. Do you find the GUI for the Settings, where you can define which toolboxes to include?

FYI, an updated list for functions and System objects supported by MATLAB Coder:

The engine open will take that time.
Consider using MATLAB's "automation" mode. This calls upon MATLAB using COM. This requires that the operating system be MS Windows, and requires a real MATLAB installation; and if the web server will be accessible to the public it requires a higher license grade than normal.

You might want to take a look at MATLAB Production Server, as well.
