I just want to point out the Maple's linear algebra is not quite as
bad as old Linbox times imply. The linalg package has been obsolete
for some time now.

The next release of Maple should have similar improvements for solving
dense linear systems. It's not as fast as LinBox, but it's not
embarrassing :)
