Numeric's dot uses, if the appropriate libraries are installed,
processor-tuned code (it tries to load blas, and an attempt to load
blas will load atlas if present). Last time I checked numarray did not,
and so Numeric's dot is (or was) faster than numarray's dot by an order
of magnitude (and more, as the size of the array grew).
