for that first expression, there are no fills, but 1m cells appended.

the 2nd expression (equal speed) does 250000 row reshapes



> 5 timespacex '(i. 250000 2) + reduceC [ 1 2 3 4'
0.0224864 2.517e7


this expression fills with 0s each row of x.

> 5 timespacex '(i. 250000 4) + reduceC [ 1 2 3 4'
0.019306 2.517e7


equivalent to first expression.  No fills needed.  Should be just as fast.


____
But wouldn't timings involving reduce-with-fill depend on how much
fill needs to get generated?

Thanks,
