Re: [Numpy-discussion] Optimization advice

[John E. <ja...@zh...>]

After getting some advice off the pygame list I think I have a pretty
good version of my influence map now. I thought someone on this list
might be interested or at least someone checking the archives.

The new and improved code is around 6-7x faster. The main gain was
obtained by converting all the array functions to slice notation and
eliminating most of the needless copying of arrays. 

The new version is attached and is much better commented. It is also
unabridged, as it was pointed out that it wasn't entirely clear what was
going on in the last (edited) version. Hopefully things are more obvious
in this one.

Anyways... I just hating leaving a thread without a conclusion. Hope
someone finds this useful.
