What do you > suggest the best way to go about it would be? If possible I would > like to not have to resort to a secondary language (C/C++, etc.) You haven't said what the elements of A and the common vector are. Are they all numeric? If so then make sure they're packed arrays. Also, you haven't said which direction the regressions are going. Is the common vector the predictor or the response? What kind of regressions? Ordinary least-squares linear, with an intercept? Or something more complicated? And how are you estimating the stochastic process parameters? Is this step likely to take most of the time? All I can suggest now is that things will probably go faster if you transpose A so that you work with rows instead of columns.
