Cython + pointers is just as fast as memoryviews. And on SLIC at least, you made liberal use of pointers. =) I just tried my hand at memoryviews at Stéfan's request and it's quite a bit slower currently.
I did use pointers? Well as far as I remember, I tried to make it fast. So yeah, pointers make sense. Not sure what is wrong, then ... anyhow, speed is acceptable, I guess.. Thanks for giving it a shot!
