It is iterative, and if you don't care about a great convergence and/or 
you have a good preconditioner this might be faster than the division 
operator... Depends on your problem of course.. However, bicgstab is 
nice to have, but without a good preconditioning routine like "ilu" in 
Octave its use will be limited....
