This line was the source of the performance regressions. The reasoning behind it appears to be because
MulLinearOperator
always computes a root decomposition, which is both inefficient and introduces dead code in its implementation (see below). I am sidestepping this by replacing the*
with secondary@
operators in the new special cases of theDiagLinearOperator
andBlockDiagLinearOperator
matmul
methods, leading toMatmulLinearOperators
instead.However, this does not get rid of the more general issue. To fix that, I propose two steps in a future PR:
MulLinearOperator
that decides whether or not to build a root decomposition.matmul
and cache the result. This will give us ~0 overhead in the case where the linear operator represents a posterior covariance matrix that is constructed via aposterior
call but only the posterior mean is needed, as was the case in the notebook that exhibited the regression.There was a problem hiding this comment.

I think this change should be fine, since the MulLinearOpeator constructor performs root decompositions on left_linear_op and right_linear_op:
linear_operator/linear_operator/operators/mul_linear_operator.py
Line 25 in caead4d
Agreed.
