For simpel operation you can't get more than 20 or 30% speedup an dmost
of the time you get none.
You can however speed up things like transendental or trigo functions by
2 or 3.

Search the archive for my extended SIMD performances chart using the
SIMD layer from NT2.

We also target multicore using openMP (rather trivial) and are starting
GPUs this year with a new post-doctoral grant.
SO I hope to get everythign working together to get some compelte,
be-all end-all matrix library out of that.
