What exactly do you think a packed array is in Mathematica?


and direct access to LAPACK and PETS.

A considerable amount of interface to Lapack and BLAS is there but not
documented. To get some idea of the functions involved, have a look at

??LinearAlgebra`*

and

??LinearAlgebra`*`*

None of this has anything much to do with "a full rewrite" of the
Mathematica kernel, whatever that might mean.
