Looks like the *lapack_lite files have internal calls to dgemm.  I alos found 
this:

So it looks like numpy/scipy performs better with MKL, regardless of how the 
MKL routines are called (directly, or via a numpy/scipy interface).

For the matrix multiplication or array dot, you use BLAS3 functions as they are 
more or less the same. For the rest, nothing inside Numpy uses BLAS or LAPACK 
explicitelly IIRC. You have to do the calls yourself.

And does numpy/scipy just then automatically use them?  When I do a matrix
multiply, for example?
