Numerical Linear Algebra Performance Enhancements

Building on the dramatic optimizations of Mathematica 5.0, there are significant further enhancements in numerical linear algebra.

For example, using a novel iterative algorithm LinearSolve now achieves still higher performance for dense high-precision matrices, and dramatic speed increases for sparse high-precision matrices.

LinearSolve and other linear algebra functions use sophisticated automatic algorithm-selection methods to analyze their input and choose the algorithms to use.
