Mex file is faster when it is called from command but slower when it is called inside a code!!!

Hi everyone,
I am working on an optimization problem which needs to run my model several times and test for different constraints and cost. For this reason I need a model which can be simulated quickly. The solution which I found is to convert the model to a mex file. I have converted a part of the model to mex file... Now when I run this part alone to check if it is faster than m file, I observe that it is faster about 4 times. However, when I plug this mex file to the rest of the model, the result becomes slower....
Does any of you have an idea what can be a possible reason? Thanks in advanced, Reza

How did you measure the timings? I do not think that anybody can guess the reasons without seeing the code.

If you have a "clear all" call, get rid of it.

Could you profile the code to determine where it is spending its time?
