I'm not overly familiar with the array module, but one place you may be
paying a penalty is in allocating the list of 0's, and then interleaving the
larray and rarray lists.
What if you replace lines 1-3 with:
def takeOneAtATime(tupleiter):
for i in tupleiter:
yield i[0]
yield i[1]
oarray = array.array("h",takeOneAtATime(itertools.izip(larray,rarray)))
Or in place of calling takeOneAtATime, using itertools.chain.
oarray = array.array("h", itertools.chain(*itertools.izip(larray,rarray)))
Use itertools.izip (have to import itertools somewhere up top) to take left
and right values in pairs, then use takeOneAtATime to yield these values one
at a time. The key though, is that you aren't making a list ahead of time,
but a generator expression. On the other hand, array.array may be just
building an internal list anyway, so this may just be a wash.
Also, try psyco, if you can, especially with this version. Or pyrex to
optimize this data-interleaving.
