There's some discusssion on the math-atlas-results list at the ATLAS
sourceforge page.  It looks as though it probably isn't worth the effort
at least for double precision reals. YMMV.

Another thing to note is that ATLAS is reporting substantial slowdowns
with gcc 3 especially on Athlons but even on Intel chips.
