Only if you do it manually. I recommend

1. Just use sparse and don't worry about it.

2. If you feel (1) is such a crucial performance bottleneck that must be
sped up by a small fraction, change your workflow to avoid writing such
large matrices to disk, thus speeding up this phase by orders of magnitude.
