I have updated the assembly benchmark to include also MTL4, see

Here are the current results:

How was the MTL4 matrix intialised? I don't know if it does anything with the sparsity pattern yet. I've been intialising MTL4 matrices by hand so far with a guess as to the max number of nonzeroes per row. Without setting this, the performance is near idenetical to uBLAS. When it is set, I observe at least a factor two speed up.

The differences are very small, but this may be caused by

1. Overhead from the Python wrappers.

2. The computation of the sparsity pattern dominates.

I have plans to extract more fine-grained results (using the new
Timing class) so that we may report the time for computing the
sparsity pattern, initialization, and assembly separately.
