- '''NOTE''' that Sparse matrix operations cannot be optimized.
+ * Sparse matrix operations cannot be optimized.
+ * Sparse structures which are growable can exceed the initial bandwidth allocation, while those which are not growable are fixed, and over-allocation will cause an error
+  * Matrices which are column major typically perform better with column-oriented operations, and likewise for row major matrices. Matrix/vector multiplication is row-major, while transpose multiplication is column-major.
