Someone pointed out to me at a Python meeting that I should try using numpy.fromstring when loading my data instead of casting a list of lists to a numpy array.
Also, it might be worth checking out whether I'm not being uber-wasteful with my memory usage, using 32 bit floats for something that's probably not even 12 bits.
