Doubts concerning matrix reorderings!

[Lisandro Dalcin]

Dear Rafael, two questions:

* What kind of flow problem are you trying to solve? compressible or
incompressible? Or just an advection problem? What discretization
method are you using?

* Have you considered using iterative methods for this, or you are
actually investigating direct methods for your problem at hand?
