Wow. I'd like to thank everyone that responded. There were some helpful suggestions. For what it's worth, I decided not to use numpy's fft code, nor libfftpack. I decided to use kissFFT instead since it has support for multidimensional transforms. However, I did decided to use numpy's random number routines. It didn't take me long to package it up and the advice given here was still useful.
