[Numpy-discussion] slow import of numpy modules

[Fernando Perez]

Hardy, Core 2 Duo laptop, picking a typical score, warm disk caches.

Before:
maqroll[research]> time python -c 'import numpy'
0.180u 0.032s 0:00.20 105.0%    0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w

After:
maqroll[research]> time python -c 'import numpy'
0.100u 0.032s 0:00.12 108.3%    0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w

Definitely a worthwhile improvement.

Many thanks to all responsible!

Cheers,
