I run some benchmarks with the recent dev vs 4.2.1 and noticed a significant slowdown
for the following test:
a=randn(4000);
tic; a'*a; toc
For both runs I LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/atlas/libtatlas.so
and then repeat with LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/atlas/libsatlas.so
4.2.1:
Elapsed time is 1.61557 seconds. (t)
Elapsed time is 5.02009 seconds. (s)
hg id
ed2239ed5fd3 tip @
Elapsed time is 2.78834 seconds. (t)
Elapsed time is 9.69433 seconds. (s)
Most of other benchmarks (like inv(a)*a, a\b are pretty much the same).
