That is a good thing to know... Regardless of the comparison, do you know where the most important data structures are defined? I mean where does it create the chunks (or read the chunks)? What are the sizes of the matrices? are they typically small (10x10) or large (1000x1000)?

You would be better off checking out the newest version from source (https://github.com/apache/mahout) and taking a look since I won't be able to provide any useful comparison for your specific needs.
