For linear algebra, yes.  The original question was about numerical
solution of differential equations, and there is no NAG code for 
that in Maple 6.  However, Edgardo Cheb-Terrab and Alan Wittkopf
have written a package they call "DNA" that speeds up numerical
solution of ODE's in Maple 6 by a factor of 15 to 30.  It is
available at http://lie.uwaterloo.ca/ecterrab/software.htm.
