Linpack is going to be about the fastest option, but you may not
have a Fortran compiler*, and a native generic designed linear
algebra package is probably going to be easier to use and almost
as fast as linpack. 

* Yes, I know about g77, but there are situations where installing
a new compiler may not be possible, and computers that g77 hasn't
been ported to yet.

Only a nerd would worry about wrong parentheses with
square brackets. But that's what mathematicians are.
