You haven't provided enough detail for anyone to give any more 
than a guess as to how you might achieve better results.

What do you mean by "reasonable time and with a good precision"?
What is the nature of the elements for L and Y? Expressions 
containing x as a variable? Linear? Exact coefficients?

Is there any special structure to L? Perhaps band limited or 
upper triangular?

If I show I can get what I think is good precision in what I see 
as reasonable time for some specific 8 x 8 matrix and 8 element 
vector, is that useful to you?
