I make heavy use of Numeric in my sprite engine.
When I did the following, I was able to 'drop in' numpy as a

Maybe you could offer a reduced test case so we could check this? I'm
sure numpy developers would also be interested...
Sure, here it is. It's a total hack using global variables, but it
works. Numeric takes 1 second, numpy takes 2.6, doing the same
operations to the same picture.

Update()

Check out the types of array and alphaarray in TestNumpy(). Very
informative. They are both Numeric arrays. All that is accomplished is
that numpy.clip is called on one. It probably just treats it as an iterable.
