NUMPY subscript access is slow.

For algorithms that require repeated random accesses with subscripts, it is faster to keep the list than to use numpy.array. python

In [71]: %%timeit
    ...: xs = np.zeros(100)
    ...: xs[0]
    ...: 
696 ns ± 4.94 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000000 loops each)

In [72]: %%timeit
    ...: xs = [0] * 100
    ...: xs[0]
    ...: 
416 ns ± 3.79 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000000 loops each)
