I assemble the Matrix by reading out from a data structure produced by a
proprietary program and just used this easy approach to compare the solvers on
different machines, where this program is not installed.

Since the implementation of the NN-preconditioner is suboptimal at all, I will
not waste much time on this issues and my post at the list was lead mostly by my
curiosity.

thanks for the explanation

cheers,
