Dear all, 

I am solving an eigenvalue problem similar than step-36. After solving for 
the eigenpairs, I evaluate the eigenfunctions in the standard way:

        VectorTools::point_value ( mapping, dof_handler, efun[m], 
q_points[j], Uq );

where: efun[m] is the m-th eigenfunction from step-36, 
q_points[j] are selected quadrature points, 
Uq is where I store the FE evaluation.

As expected, this operation is awfully slow! it takes seconds for a single 
point evaluation with a decent discretization and having m eigenfunctions 
makes it worse!

1) I wonder if there is a way to evaluate the whole vector q_points with a 
single (and clever) call instead of looping on j and calling 
VectorTools::point_value(... , q_points[j], ...).

I remember when coding basic FEM in matlab, I had loops over several points 
in order to reduce the overhead of evaluating the FE

for c in cells
    for x in q_points
        if x is in cell
            evaluate FE: evaluate FE:  loop over shape functions with 
support in c, 
            U(x)=sum ...
        end
    end
end

2) My issue today goes beyond evaluating in several points ... I also 
require to evaluate several FE vectors (eigenfunctions). Intuitively, one 
would evaluate the FE like:

for c in cells
    for x in q_points
        if x is in cell
            for m ... in eigenfunctions
                evaluate FE:  loop over shape functions with support in c, 
                Um(x)=sum ...
            end
        end
    end
end

Any ideas how to achieve this?
Thanks in advance.
