Hello folks, to optimize startup time we did move numpy imports "down" into individual Cython files. Unfortunately every time we do so we end up leaking anywhere from 700 to 900 bytes or so. Since that import can be in frequently visited operations I would strongly suggest we limit ourselves to one global numpy import in all.py. In 3.1.3 we will be upgrading to numpy 1.2 which import significantly faster than 1.1 and especially 1.0.4. Since we fix 8 byte leaks I would certainly suggest that we do the same for a 700+ byte leak, even if that slows down the startup time of Sage about 0.2s on sage.math. I noticed the numpy import leak all over the Sage doctests.
