OK, After I figured out to clear the memory between calls, I got the
following numbers (before clearing the temp array, the numbers just kept
growing...):

0.33000004 Seconds (temp=bytarr(1000,1000,25))
1.5920000 Seconds (replicate_inplace, temp, 10B)
2.0829999 Seconds (temp = BYTARR(1000,1000,25) + 10B)
1.9130000 Seconds (temp = BYTARR(1000,1000,25, /NoZero) + 10B)
1.5619999 Seconds (temp = replicate(10B, 1000, 1000, 25))

pro test_array_init

T = SYSTIME(1)
temp=bytarr(1000,1000,25)
PRINT, SYSTIME(1) - T, ' Seconds (temp=bytarr(1000,1000,25))'
temp = 0
; the following takes a *very* long time
;temp(*)=10B
;PRINT, SYSTIME(1) - T, ' Seconds'

T = SYSTIME(1)
temp=bytarr(1000,1000,25)
replicate_inplace, temp, 10B
PRINT, SYSTIME(1) - T, ' Seconds (replicate_inplace, temp, 10B)'
temp = 0

T = SYSTIME(1)
temp = BYTARR(1000,1000,25) + 10B
PRINT, SYSTIME(1) - T, ' Seconds (temp = BYTARR(1000,1000,25) + 10B)'
temp = 0

T = SYSTIME(1)
temp = BYTARR(1000,1000,25, /NoZero) + 10B
PRINT, SYSTIME(1) - T, ' Seconds (temp = BYTARR(1000,1000,25, /NoZero) +
10B)'
temp = 0

T = SYSTIME(1)
temp = replicate(10B, 1000, 1000, 25)
PRINT, SYSTIME(1) - T, ' Seconds (temp = replicate(10B, 1000, 1000, 25))'
temp = 0

end
