It looks to me your ATLAS is not well optimized. Here is 3.2.2 on
Fedora 11 x86_64
(Opteron 180, at 2.4GHz):

Matrix inversion (LAPACK)        31.47 +/- 2.6% (539 runs)
Schur decomposition (LAPACK)     39.68 +/- 0.1% (238 runs)
Differential equation (LSODE)    26.19 +/- 0.6% (623 runs)
Fourier transforms (FFTPACK)      7.09 +/- 1.9% (168 runs)
for loop                         35.66 +/- 1.1% (665 runs)
-- Performance index (bm 2.3): 24
