And here's a WxH version

Excellent. And here a slope for you to slide, sort of in splendid isolation, from a plot fanatic:

sub sms_WxH_Perl_sliding_tybalt89 ( $m, $width, $height ) {
    my @new = zip_by { [ @_ ] } map [ nslide $height, @$_ ],
      zip_by { [ @_ ] } map [ nslide $width, @$_ ], @$m;
    return \@new
}

__END__

           Time (s) vs. N (NxN submatrix, 1500x1500 matrix)
