Re: FIAT timing results
Nice plots. The current bottleneck in the system is FFC which is
terribly slow right now. (It takes a week to compile Poisson with
degree 7 Lagrange elements.)
The plan is that I will update FFC for the new faster interface of
FIAT (tabulate mode) as soon as I find the time. This will speedup FFC
by a factor 100 in some cases.
