matrix operations

Hello,

If anyone knows anything about numerical computing, I'm looking for information on the speed of matrix operations. On a modern computer, how quickly should one expect too invert a sparse banded matrix of dimension around 1000 by 1000? How quickly should it be expected to multiply 2 1000 by 1000 matrices together, where one is sparse and the other is dense?

Thank you.
