New Post: MKL is even slower

I've thought about this too. So I changed my code to

Control.LinearAlgebraProvider = new MklLinearAlgebraProvider();
ContinuousUniform uniform = new ContinuousUniform(-0.5, 0.5);
DenseVector a = DenseVector.CreateRandom(100, uniform);
DenseVector b = DenseVector.CreateRandom(100, uniform);

Stopwatch watch = new Stopwatch();
watch.Start();

for (int i = 0; i < 100000; i++) {
    var c = a * b;
}

watch.Stop();
Console.WriteLine(watch.Elapsed);

Still, MKL is much slower, according to the console output.
Is there anything else to be done rather than Control.LinearAlgebraProvider = new MklLinearAlgebraProvider()? E.g., configuring my CPU with some Intel tools?
