I think everyone who wants fast numpy linalg already connects to
something like OpenBLAS or MKL.  When these are not available, numpy
uses its own "lapack-lite" which is way slower.  I don't think you are
going to beat OpenBLAS, so are you suggesting to speed up the slow
default "lapack-lite", or are you proposing something else?
