Mandelbrot Microscope

[Jeff Epler]

IMO you won't render mandelbrots at an acceptable speed using Python.

Psyco might help, but probably not (it's unlikely to support complex
numbers)

You might speed things up a bit by doing something clever in numarray,
effectively doing an iteration of the whole window worth of points in
each loop, avoiding lots of interpreter overhead.

But to get it competitive with a native code mandelbrot calculator,
well, you'll probably have to write something that compiles to native
code.

You could also wait a few years, computers should be faster by then...
