That won't be necessary -- the Fortran-implementation is guaranteed to win!

Just to make sure, I timed it anyway (on somewhat larger arrays):

Francesc's Solution: 0.062797403 Seconds/Trial
Fortran Solution 1: 0.050316906 Seconds/Trial
Fortran Solution 2: 0.052595496 Seconds/Trial
Nathan's Solution: 0.055562282 Seconds/Trial
Cython Solution: 0.06250751 Seconds/Trial

Nathan's version runs over the data 6 times, and still does better
than the Pyrex version.  I don't know why!

But, hey, this algorithm is parallelisable!  Wait, no, it's bedtime.

Stéfan
