so you found them already...

iemmatrix is not written to be especially efficient. i am sure most 
things could be done in a more efficient way (however i tried to choose 
efficient algorithms rather than efficient implementations)

personally i believe than an implementation need not be "efficient" per 
se, just "efficient enough" so that it can run on your target system.

i have never really had any problems (but i used some "tricks" (actually 
  it was just decoupling calculations with [del]) in the days of 
P3-800MHz machines in order to distribute the message load a bit over time)

i don't see any particular strict requirement for efficiency in here.
what sizes of matrices do you expect? 1000x1000 or just 30x26?
which calculations do you need? just multiplication of eigenvalue 
decomposition (not that this was implemented)?
