Sage is not a BLAS/Lapack. It is a large distribution of Open Source
mathematical software (amongst other things). It does however include
a BLAS.

Do you mean has anyone compared Sage linked to ATLAS, etc. with Sage
linked to MKL?

I just googled ATLAS vs MKL and got this page, which seems to say MKL
was faster on at least that platform:

This disagrees with what a developer once told me (that MKL was
slower). Either he was wrong, or it depends what platform you are
using, or Intel have improved MKL considerably since then.

At any rate, the comparison is not so interesting, as MKL is only
"free for personal use", not "open and free PERIOD".
