[Numpy-discussion] dot() performance depends on data?

I'm attaching a small benchmark script. It multiplies two example arrays
loaded from the file "data" (which you can download from
http://zhuliguan.net/data (157K)), and compares this with multiplying
two random arrays. On two different machines I get an output like the
following:

$ python mm.py
0.0121581554413
0.000909090042114

So the example arrays take more than 10 times as long! Hope this helps
in understanding what's going on...

Cheers,
Hagen
