I posted it in my previous mail. Here is basically same procedure:

=======================================
import numpy as np
from numpy.random import random

a = random((1000, 1000))
b = random((1000, 1000))
%timeit np.dot(a, b)
---------------------------------------

Octave code:
=======================================
a = rand(1000, 1000);
b = rand(1000, 1000);
tic; dot(a,b); toc
---------------------------------------

And it just here, where MKL build numpy, behaves unexpectedly slow.
Or I'm making some mistake I'm not aware of
