[Help-gsl] gsl vs. petsc

[Gideon Simpson]

While I've used petsc for some larger numerical linear algebra projects 
(typically on the order of 10000 degrees of freedom), I'd thought that smaller 
problems, with sizes of <= 100 degrees of freedom could be well handled by 
serial algorithms.  But petsc obviously has a much more extensive collection of 
solvers for sparse systems.  I was wondering, has anyone compared performance 
between the two libraries on smaller problems?
