Do you mean it's easy with NativeBoost? My doubt is accessing of smalltalk's
collections from provided low-level code. Another problem is how to prepare
this low-level code, how to put it inside the method and so on. Something like
"Hello World" for NativeBoost.

Matrix algoritm is not that hard to find...wikipedia, you know. Generally speaking,
if dot product solution will be demonstrated, I think, matrix multiplication will be
easy.

What function do you mean? One of smalltalk object's methods or something
other?���
