[pymvpa] SMLR much slower than LinearCSVMC !?

SMLR might be faster or slower than SVM depending on data

also lm argument controls sparseness and convergence_tol convergence --
both will have influence on runtime (as few others as well).

but the message: it is ok for it to be slower.  And depending how
installed it you might have got only native Python SMLR implementation
which would be even slower (you should have seen a warning if that was
the case)
