I need to do both unweighted & weighted histograms and we got a factor 5 using 
(simple) cython:
it is in the proceedings of Euroscipy, last year.
http://arxiv.org/pdf/1412.6367.pdf

We got much faster but that's another story.

In fact, many people coming from IDL or Matlab are surprised by the
poor performances of numpy's histogram.
