Question: Is Intel MKL so important?

I found the page:http://12000.org/my_notes/rankTest/test.htm,

Comparing with MMa&Matlab, Maple is abit slow.

The author guess the reason is Intel MKL.

I searched the help page, http://www.maplesoft.com/support/help/Maple/view.aspx?path=copyright,

found this info:

Intel® MKL Copyright © 1999, 2000-2008 Intel Corporation. All rights reserved.

 Does this means the Intel MKL in maple is a 6 years old product?

Is this important?

I want to know.
