[Chicago] Common mistakes that can slow down Python

[Jason Wirth]

Using pure python instead of Numpy.
For more examples of performance gains take a look at Yves talk:

Numpy also has the benefit of being more expressive when dealing with
numerical calculations.

x = np.linspace(0, 10)
y = a * x + b


On a side note, you asked a great question, but I'm not a huge fan of Quora
blurring the answers until you give them your personal information.
Programmers.stackexchange is a great place to ask open ended questions that
might not be suitable for StackOverflow.
