[Lazarus] fast mathematical matrix operations

[Chris Kelling]

Pascal in general hasn't handled math in an effeceint way. Factorial is a prime example. I would assume that even a 2 dimensial matrix bigger than 10x10 would choke most processes. 

It sounds like you would need something made for mathmatical processing like fortran or even lisp. However, taking advantage of parallel processing may give you the speed you are looking for.
