logical matrix divided by double matrix is slow

a=logical(12,90,111);
b=randi(100,[12,90,111]);
c = a ./ (b+1e-10).
This line seems a very simple operation but it is so time-consuming. I am wondering if any speed up can be done?

You are executing that line 8675040 times and it is taking 84367.53 seconds to do so, which is an average of 0.00972531884579207 seconds per iteration. Is that slow? 12*90*111 = 119880 divisions are done each time, for an average of 8.1125449164098e-08 seconds per division. Is that slow?
The code internally has to do
double(a) ./ (b+1e-10)
which is an extra operation compared to the case where a is already double. Those extra operations take time.
That said, my tests do tend to suggest that doing the double() yourself is faster, by up to a factor of 5. Try
c = double(a) ./ (b+1e-10);

What is the last line in your post???
When I run your code I get this:
Error using logical
Too many input arguments.
Error in test2 (line 1)
a=logical(12,90,111);
When I do this:
a=false(12,90,111);
b=randi(100,[12,90,111]);
tic;
c = a ./ (b+1e-10);
toc
I get
Elapsed time is 0.000511 seconds.
which seems pretty fast to me. What are you doing differently?

Well change it to false, which is also a logical, and it will run so much faster.
