[ITK] [ITK-users] Problem with ITK eigensystem

[Dženan Zukić]

Hi Olivier,

I tried running you example. One thing struck me right away: ITK version is
much slower (after a few minutes running in release mod I killed it) than
VNL version (about a second in debug mode) for your input.

I can't comment the patch content or the numeric stability. Perhaps Brad
and Hans can pitch in?

Regards,
Dženan
