PCG code in MATLAB

Hi! I am a PhD student, and I am testing a new iterative solver
against the standard conjugate gradient (CG) algorithm. Does anyone
know the specific preconditioned CG (PCG) code MATLAB uses? What
kinds of "tricks" does it use to speed convergence? (I have written
a separate code to do CG, but my implementation of CG takes many more
iterations than MATLAB's PCG code, even without preconditioners.)
Thanks for your help!

In the MATLAB Command Window, type either "doc pcg" (without the quotes) for
a reference to a book from SIAM or "edit pcg" for the code used by the PCG
function.

Steve,

Thank you for the info. I will take a good look at the code and
compare it to mine. Appreciate your help!
