Re: [Matplotlib-users] numerix bug and bugfix

[Eric F. <ef...@km...>]

John,

Compiling with numarray improved the pcolor_demo2 times by about a 
factor of 3 when selecting numarray via numerix, although it is still a 
little slower on my machine than Numeric-linkage/Numeric Python.  No big 
deal.  I am sticking with numarray.
