[Numpy-discussion] Unnecessarily bad performance of elementwise operators with Fortran-arrays

[Christopher Barker]

This discussion makes me wonder if the basic element-wise operations 
could (should?) be special cased for contiguous arrays, reducing them to 
  simple pointer incrementing from the start to the finish of the data 
block. The same code would work for C and Fortran order arrays, and be 
pretty simple.

This would address Hans' issue, no?

It's a special case but a common one.
