Keep in mind, though, that the code I wrote creates a huge 2D array
when it is presented with largeish 1D arrays as arguments.

So if s_vector is 10000 elements and r_vector is 10000 elements,
then a 800-MB array is created.  If you've got the RAM, this is
okay; otherwise you're in trouble.

Also, does anyone have weave.blitz?  I'd like to see how it does
compared to the other approaches.
