Yes, I agree that it would be better if it was possible to perform some
benchmarks that could fairly and objectively compare this stuff. Yet, as I see
it, the main problem is that, even if ublas didn't crawled when compared to
other packages, the documentation as it stands makes it a bit hard, if not
practically impossible, to be able to write code that runs as it should.
