Sure!

The times I listed before are for 100000 repetitions on small matrices
(3x4, 4x6), so as to alsoinclude function call overhead in the
benchmark.

I have uploaded two 100x100 random matrices also, and the results for
20 repetitions on them (results.txt).

I understand that micro-benchmarks like this are usually not
significative, but in this case they make some sense, since it's the
kind of thing my programs will do most of the time.
