title: Is MATLAB faster than Python?
body: <p>I want to compute magnetic fields of some conductors using the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biot%E2%80%93Savart_law" rel="noreferrer">Biot–Savart law</a> and I want to use a 1000x1000x1000 matrix. Before I use MATLAB, but now I want to use Python. Is Python slower than MATLAB ? How can I make Python faster? </p>
  
  <p>EDIT:
  Maybe the best way is to compute the big array with C/C++ and then transfering them to Python. I want to visualise then with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VPython" rel="noreferrer">VPython</a>. </p>
  
  <p>EDIT2: Which is better in my case: C or C++? </p>
