Regarding the solution of linear algebraic equations I noticed a big difference in the computation
time in Python compared to the old fortran language. I have compared both the linelg and lapack.dgesv-lapack.zgesv modules with the fortan: dgelg and f04adf. The difference in computation time is enormous: for example for 430 degrees of freedom it is about 24 min in Python versus about 1 sec in fortran. Is it possible to get better performance in Python?
