matshow is a compatibility interface to imshow, which is restricted to regular rectangular grids, but is the fastest way to make an image-like plot. pcolormesh is not as fast, but can handle arbitrary quadrilateral grids. There is also code to handle irregular rectangular grids at a speed intermediate between imshow and pcolormesh (which is a wrapper for quadmesh). A unified interface to all of these is provided by the pcolorfast axes method in svn. Its API may need tweaking; suggestions are welcome.
