Maxima Lapack is very slow: 7 seconds versus 0.002 seconds in Julia.



I tried playing along.  I had to pass:

    --lisp-options='--dynamic-space-size 2048'

to have enough heap for sbcl to compile the lapack lisp.  (I didn't
determine exactly what would have been enough, but 1024 was not.)

On a 2.8 GHz amd64 box, after 135 seconds of lisp compilation,
the dgeev() call took:

  Evaluation took 0.0240 seconds (0.0240 elapsed) using 2.661 MB.
