I also tested mayavi, this demo: http://code.enthought.com/projects/mayavi/docs/development/html/mayavi/mlab.html#a-demo and I didn't notice any speed difference --- e.g. it's as slow as regular mayavi with ipython -wthread. :) Ondrej ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!
