Dear interested potential reviewer, Recently we've (hopefully finished) making a patch switching RDF and CDF matrices to a numpy-based backend (i.e., the matrices are internally numpy matrices, instead of the previous GSL matrices). Basically, this makes most RDF or CDF matrix operations faster and also taps into a vibrant community surrounding the numpy and scipy scientific python communities. There are also other issues about us not being able to include updates to GSL because of licensing, whereas we have a clear upgrade path with numpy/scipy.
The patches are up at http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/3498. If you are interested, it'd be great if you could review these. See the extensive notes on the ticket, which include timing tests, for details about the patches. There have been some reviews of the patches up to this point, but it'd be great if someone could review the current set of patches that is up there now. These patches also factor out almost all of the duplicated functionality in the two classes, so the code should be much smaller as well.
