I uploaded a timing test and a patch to arraysetops.py here:

http://projects.scipy.org/numpy/ticket/1603

The new in1d() uses the kern_in algorithm when it's faster, and the existing 
algorithm otherwise. The speedup compared to the old in1d() for cases with very 
large ar1 and small ar2 can be up to 10x on my laptop.

If someone with commit access could take a look and and apply it if ok, that 
would be great.

Thanks,
Neil
