My bad. Should have used Todd Miller's revised version.

Good point.
Revised numbers: + mmult eigen
Xeon/3.06GHz/refblas3/lapack3/numarray: .0224 3.14 2.63
Xeon/3.06GHz/refblas3/lapack3/Numeric: .0268 3.45 2.73

Celeron/2.8GHz/atlas-base/numarray: .0814 11.3 6.53
Celeron/2.8GHz/atlas-base/Numeric: .0918 1.70 6.50
P4/2.8GHz/atlas-base/numarray: .0262 4.58 2.96
P4/2.8GHz/atlas-base/Numeric: .0318 1.15 3.00
Xeon/3.06GHz/Matlab: .0102 .886 2.70
P4/2.8GHz/Matlab: .0143 1.00 3.07
Very comparable (Numeric vs. numarray) except matrixmultiply, which I
guess is explained by the Debian sarge python2.3-numarray (v1.1.1) not
using the dotblas package/routine, as Todd Miller explained in an
earlier post. I'll be looking forward to the Debian numarray release
that includes dotblas. Looks like it will edge-out Numeric across the
board (on the Xeon) once that's in place. For now, I'll be happy with
Numeric/atlas3-base.
The Matlab numbers use uniform random matrices.
All code attached.
Todd, Peter: sorry for the confusion I propagated.
