Why process is running late in MATLAB?
![MATLAB](https://powerusers.codidact.com/uploads/ftFXHAYkJMXhuGjvosmvbjio)

After 10-20 secs I get result (ans=...).  Why it is taking some time to done it's process. It was really a simple thing. I had read requirements of [the software](https://getintopc.com/softwares/matlab-r2020a-free-download-1583484/)

- Operating System: Windows 7/8/8.1/10
- Memory (RAM): 2 GB of RAM required.
- Hard Disk Space: 30 GB of free space required.
- Processor: Intel Dual Core processor or later.

The running laptop's RAM is 6 GB. And Core i5. Processor isn't good, is that the reason of completing late a process? Sometimes, it takes a minute to complete a process also.
