Heikko,
Also consider that you may need to define NDEBUG in your compilation options (i.e. -DNDEBUG), rather than defining it in your code, as if some ublas headers precedes it, it will have no effect (unless of course you make sure that it is indeed defined before any ublas header is included).

Subject: Re: [ublas] profiling shows most time is consumed by indexing_matrix_assign

Hi Heikko,
did you check if you have nested products? (those may be hidden sometimes if you pass expressions around) Take a look at the very last item in http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/libs/numeric/ublas/doc/index.htm.

The indexing_matrix_assign is the main function that is called when you assign an expression to a matrix in ublas, so everything passes through that. And remember in ublas A+B (with A and B matrices) is an expression in ublas, not a matrix, it becomes a matrix when you assign it to something.

Also try to play with -DBOOST_UBLAS_MOVE_SEMANTICS (http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/libs/numeric/ublas/doc/options.htm) and noalias() (http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_41_0/libs/numeric/ublas/doc/operations_overview.htm) , to see if those help.

Best regards
Nasos
