The multiply (and divide functions) for complex arrays were using the 
"generic interface" (probably because this is what Numeric did) which 
calls out to a function to compute each result.    I just committed a 
switch to "in-line" the multiplication and division calls.

The speed-up is about that 10%.  Now, my numarray and NumPy versions of 
the test are very similar.
