Question: Improving computation speed

Dear all,

I have a question regarding the computation speed of Maple. I'm doing some numerical work with Maple and when I'm not using the build in Maple routines, but write my one routines to solve e.g. a system of partial differential equations using a finite differencing method, it takes Maple sometimes up to two hours to finish the computation. I also noticed that Maple is only using around 30% of my CPU. I know it's more efficient to do numerical work with C++ or other programming languages (at least that's what most people I know are using) but do any of you know some ways to improve the computation speed of Maple or to make it use more of my CPU to do the calculations faster?
