Re: NDSolve is using Solve?

Ok so I have one idea. I read that restricting the function definition
to be something like f[x_?NumericQ,y_?NumericQ] can enable you to avoid
symbolic evaluation, speeding up the calculation by a factor of 10000 or
so! My issue now is that I have functions that are defined in terms of
derivatives of other previously defined functions, so I won't be able to
blindly go through changing the function definitions. I suppose this
means I will have to rewrite everything which will probably take me a
couple of days. Given that I'm not even sure if this will work, any
suggestions at this point would be very much welcome.
Cheers,
Jonny

I leave it running over the weekend. If I greatly simplify one of the
equations I can get a result but in either case I get the error messages
