Comment (by chapoton):

 Yes, I agree strongly. It is ok to compile ATLAS once in a while, but not
 every time !

 Here is a excerpt of a message from William on sage-devel, that maybe
 deserves to be written somewhere in the doc, imho:

 ..., a reminder about how to use the
 systemwide ATLAS (at least on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS).  Just do this before
 building Sage:
 {{{
          apt-get install libatlas3gf-base liblapack-dev
          cd /usr/lib/
          ln -s libatlas.so.3gf libatlas.so
          ln -s libcblas.so.3gf libcblas.so
          ln -s libf77blas.so.3gf libf77blas.so
          export SAGE_ATLAS_LIB="/usr/lib/"
 }}}
