Any Numpy Benchmarks?

[Nathaniel Gray]

Has anybody benchmarked Numpy versus other numerical programming
languages (Matlab, Mathematica, Octave, etc...)?  Anybody compiled a
list of pros and cons?

I really like the idea of a first-class scripting language mated with a
first-class numerical package but I'd like to know what trade-offs exist
in Numpy before I try to sell the idea to my coworkers.

Thanks,
