Thank you for the tip on xrange. Even if I swap the inner and outer loops, I would still be doing the same number of computations, am I right (since I still need to go through the same number of elements)? I'm not seeing how a loop swap would lead to fewer computations, since I still need to calculate the outer rim of elements in the array (defined by borderX and borderY).
