Thanks for pushing on this. It does seem that Harris Geospatial needs to update IDL to keep it speed competitive with other interpreted programs.
As you note, MATLAB now has available both just-in-time compilation, and Intel MKL compilation.

And Python has "broadcasting" syntax

I should note though, that I was recently able to speed up a matrix-heavy IDL computation by a factor of 3 by judicious of the BLAS_AXPY (and REPLICATE_INPLACE) routine. --Wayne
