<h2>Benchmark for a model that can also be solved with Eigenvalues</h2>
<p>This evaluation is taken from the example section of mkinfit. When using an mkin version equal to or greater than 0.9-36 and a C compiler (gcc) is available, you will see a message that the model is being compiled from autogenerated C code when defining a model using mkinmod. The <code><a href="../reference/mkinmod.html">mkinmod()</a></code> function checks for presence of the gcc compiler using</p>

<p>We see that using the compiled model is by a factor of 8.7 faster than using the R version with the default ode solver, and it is even faster than the Eigenvalue based solution implemented in R which does not need iterative solution of the ODEs:</p>
