ger and gemv call blas_memory_alloc/free which in their turn call blas_lock. blas_lock create thread contention when matrices are small and the number of thread is high enough. We avoid call blas_memory_alloc by replacing it with stack allocation. This can be enabled with: make -DMAX_STACK_ALLOC=2048 The given size (in byte) must be high enough to avoid thread contention and small enough to avoid stack overflow. Fix OpenMathLib#478
