We demonstrate that substantial computational savings are attainable in electronic structure calculations using a Cholesky decomposition of the two-electron integral matrix. In most cases, the computational effort involved calculating the Cholesky decomposition is less than the construction of one Fock matrix using a direct O(N2) procedure.
