Thanks guys! I'll be bringing a version of this over to scikit-image.utilin the very near future, to be used if NumPy < 1.8.x. On Monday, May 20, 2013 5:06:31 AM UTC-5, Chintak Sheth wrote: Cheers Josh!

Kudos to Josh Warner for getting this patch into NumPy so quickly!

Changed paths: M doc/release/1.8.0-notes.rst M numpy/lib/arraypad.py M numpy/lib/tests/test_arraypad.py

Log Message: ----------- ENH: improved, faster algorithm for array padding

New padding method which scales much better with dimensionality. This new implementation is fully vectorized, builds each abstracted n-dimensional padding block in a single step, and takes advantage of separability. The API is completely preserved, and the old algorithm is used if a vector function is input for `mode`.

The new algorithm is faster for all tested combinations of inputs, and scales much better with dimensionality. Execution time reductions from ~25% for small rank 1 arrays to >99% for rank 4+ arrays observed.
