-Here is table comparing ``pyglmnet`` against ``scikit-learn``'s
-``linear_model``, ``statsmodels``, and ``R``.
-
-The numbers below are run time (in milliseconds) to fit a :math:`1000`
-samples x :math:`100` predictors sparse matrix (density :math:`0.05`).
-This was done on a c. 2011 Macbook Pro, so your numbers may vary.

-We provide a function called ``BenchMarkGLM()`` in ``pyglmnet.datasets``
-if you would like to run these benchmarks yourself, but you need to take
