I fixed a performance bug in numarray.strings so the lion's share of
this problem is now gone in CVS:
scipy -> numarray Int32 0.000634908676147
scipy -> numarray S1 0.000502109527588
numarray -> scipy S1 0.000125885009766
numarray -> numarray S1 0.00110602378845
Things could be further improved by adding "import" support for the
newcore array protocol to numarray.strings.
