[Numpy-discussion] numpy vs numeric benchmarks

[Eric Jonas]

I meant "numeric is slower than numpy", that is, modern numpy (0.9.8)
appears to lose out majorly to numeric. This doesn't make much sense, so
I figured there was something wrong with my benchmark, or my numpy
install, and wanted to check if others had seen this sort of behavior.
