[SciPy-dev] Current status of arpack.speigs.eigvals

[Neilen Marais]

You'll find it works better for big matrices, since that's what the ARPACK
"tunables" were chosen for. Anyway, no, it's far from ready for primetime.
I've used it successfully to solve my problems though. Patches appreciated
(though wait for my update later today).

Regards
Neilen
