Multiplying sparse matrices is slow

                 Key: MATH-248
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-248
             Project: Commons Math
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Christian Semrau
            Priority: Minor


The multiplication of sparse real matrices is very slow compared to real 
matrices: Ten times as slow for size 200, four times as slow for size 400. The 
time is independent of the number of nonzero entries, because the general 
algorithm inherited from AbstractRealMatrix is used. I suggest using a 
specialized multiplication algorithm for matrices that are "sparse enough", 
walking only over the nonzero entries in one of the matrices.
