just thinking out loud... could the slow down be induced by the memory allocation, triggering many GC collections ? I recall a post on c.l.p where disabling the gc during pickling/unpickling a complicated data structure tremendously improved performances... cheers, sebastien. -- ################################### # Dr. Sebastien Binet # Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. # 1 Cyclotron Road # Berkeley, CA 94720 ################################### _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
