Hi Toby, sorry for the late reply. I'm finally back to Austria ;-)

Haha, we should do the same for the other GSoC subprojects and then put these numbers into the final blog post :-D > I've got tests that cover pretty much all of my functionality (except > for eigenvalue computation, which should be done later today / > tomorrow); the vector operations test throws up a few mysterious but > non-threatening failures, which I need to investigate further, but I'm > not worried about those.

Though I will need to document this process better.
