Just to be sure, what exactly is affected when one uses the slower algorithms when neither BLAS or LAPACK is installed? For sure it will affect almost every function in numpy.linalg, as they use LAPACK_lite. And I guess that in numpy.core the dot() function uses the lite numpy/core/blasdot/_dotblas.c routine? Any other numpy functions that are affected?
