Growing an array by appending it is the slow way in matlab. The
suggested way to do things there is preallocate the array by saying
x=zeros(....) and then referencing the elements in the array and
inserting the correct value.

Interestingly enough, it is very easy to grown an array in Matlab.
Any idea how they do that (or are they slow as well?).

If you do not know the size of your array before you finalize it,
then
you should use lists whenever you can. I just cooked up a short
example:

##### Result #####
Total Time with array: 2.12951189331
Total Time with list: 0.0469707035741

Hope this helps,
That is helpful, I thought that using arrays would be much faster but
its clearly not in this case.
Thanks
