Thanks Ken,

It is definitely much much faster (from 30 minutes for looping only to
1 minute). It is difficult to characterise the speedup entirely
because I was able to add a lot more of the calculations inside the
loop, na is about 700 times larger than nb. I think I must have done
something stupid the first time I tried this and looped over the other
dimension hence my confusion.

Cheers,
Max
