Just use normal arrays for buffer (median accepts array on

ok, I think I see. I created a slice(numTasks, bigd) over an
allocated double[] dbuf, but slb[task] will be returning some
struct instead of the double[] that i need in this case.
If I add .array to the Slice, it does compile, and executes, but
slower than using the buffer directly.
medians[i] = median(vec, slb[task].array);

original version using the computed slice of the original
allocated dbuf.
medians[i] = median(vec,dbuf[j .. k]);
parallel time medians msec:85
The .array appears to make a copy. Is there some other call in
ndslice to return the double[] slice of the original array?
