Hello, Jed, in my IJacobian subroutine, I defined a PetscScalar J[4*n][4*n], 
and filled in the values for this J matrix by MatSetValues(). 

245 seconds out of the total 351 seconds in the DAE TS solving part are due to 
this J matrix computation.

For that J matrix, half of them are constants values which doesn't change in 
each iteration. However, since my J is created inside each IJacobian() call, I 
couldn't reuse it. If that part of work belongs to redundant computation, I 
would like to know if there's a way to set up the Jacobian matrix outside of 
the IJacobian() subroutine, so that I can keep the constant part of values in J 
for all the iterations but only updates the changing values which depends on X?

Thanks,
Shuangshuang

Cool, all of these are pretty inexpensive, so your time is probably in compu
