Great ! thanks. I should have seen that.

Is there any way array multiplication (as opposed to matrix multiplication)
can be sped up without forming A and (A * b) explicitly.

A = np.repeat(x, [4, 2, 1, 3], axis = 0)    # A.shape == 10,10
c = sum(b * A, axis = 1)                        # b.shape == 10,10

In my actual setting b is pretty big, so I would like to avoid creating
another array the same size. I would also like to avoid a Python loop.

st = 0
for (i,rep) in enumerate([4, 2, 1, 3]):
     end = st + rep
     c[st : end] = np.dot(b[st : end, :], a[i,:])
     st  = end

Is Cython the only way ?
