Same. If you check out the past version of PyCuda that still has CUBLAS, there 
are files test/test_{cublas,gpuarray}_speed.py. In fact, since CUBLAS does 
not implement three-operand "z = x + y", it requires an extra copy that 
GPUArray can avoid. If you're into "lies, damned lies and benchmarks", you 
could say that GPUArray is actually twice as fast.  :)

Oops. Thanks. Fixed.
