Description of problem: [I'm surprised this hasn't come up before, but I can't see a previous request.] In the absence of sanity for the linear algebra base in Fedora, I think R should use openblas on the targets that have it (x86_64 %{ix86} armv7hl %{power64} aarch64), not reference BLAS. As it is, the relevant operations are typically an order of magnitude slower than they could be, though I don't know how much that affects typical R use. Using openblas would also sidestep the problems with el5,6's libblas noted in the spec. There's an example of what reference BLAS costs at the end of <https://loveshack.fedorapeople.org/blas-subversion.html>, which describes the workaround I use (see also #1389719) and refers to people pushing a proprietary solution. (The serial matrix multiplication exRmple is a factor of 13 slower than it could be on Sandy Bridge.) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): R-core-3.3.1-2.el6.x86_64
