Comment(by jseakle@…):

 Looking at the documentation some more, it appears that it is in fact rife
 with grammatical errors. Here are a few more fixes:

 WRONG:
 Set the init to true is equivalent to call w.clear() before axpy_prod.

 RIGHT:
 Setting init to true is equivalent to calling w.clear() before axpy_prod.

 The next sentence is pretty incomprehensible: Up to now there are some
 specialisation for compressed matrices that give a large speed up compared
 to prod.

 Does this have anything to do with the init argument? What does 'Up to now
 there are' mean? I can't fix this because I do not understand the intent.

 WRONG:
 However, the total speed depends very strong on the combination of
 blocksize, CPU and compiler.

 RIGHT:
 However, the actual speed depends very significantly on the combination of
 blocksize, CPU, and compiler.
