[SciPy-user] memory usage

[Emanuele Zattin]

yeah i noticed that as well.
i think i'm on the right way now... i think this is all due to the
heavy use of broadcasting i did in order to optimize performance... i
might as well try to go with some inline C code with nested for loops.

-I don't have to know an answer. I don't feel frightened by not
knowing things; by being lost in a mysterious universe without any
purpose — which is the way it really is, as far as I can tell,
possibly. It doesn't frighten me.- Richard Feynman
