in thread Which pdl orientation saves memory

I'm not sure whether or not I will even be using any threading in the work I'll be doing. I'm mainly using PDL just so I can use matrix multiplication to make my equations simpler. However, I will keep your suggestion in mind, since I may end up using threading if possible to increase speed.

    Note: The 'threading' I mentioned is not threading in the sense of multi-tasking, but rather implicit looping. Applying a single equation to a whole piddle, or slice of a piddle. The looping occurs within the PDL libraries rather than explicitly within your Perl program. This is where the greatest benefits of using PDL occur.

    See the appropriate section of PDL::Indexing for more information.
