This in the sense that it's up to you to determine whether your
matrix-free residual and preconditioning code is fast.  This profile
merely says that almost all of the run-time is in *your code*.  If your
code is fast, then this is good performance.  If you can use a different
algorithm to converge in fewer iterations, or a different representation
to apply the operator faster, then you could do better.
