Yes that's what you want for 4).
For 3) if you want to access the memory, the data() method returns the
pointer to the array of coefficients.
For 1), Eigen itself doesn't do any multithreading, but on the plus
side, Eigen is stateless so completely (trivially) thread-safe.
For 2), that's because these operations are inherently hard to
vectorize using standard SIMD instructions, they do not easily split
into basic operations such as addition, dot product, etc. I guess a
SIMD guru would be able to do something, contributions welcome, but
that's not easy at all.
Cheers,
Benoit
