Is there anything I've forgotten to do here in order to speed things up a bit? I'm trying to implement an algorithm described in a book called Tuning Timbre Spectrum Scale. Also---if all else fails, is there a way for me to just write this part of the code in C, then be able to call it from python?

```
import numpy as np
cimport numpy as np

# DTYPE = np.float
ctypedef np.float_t DTYPE_t

np.seterr(divide='raise', over='raise', under='ignore', invalid='raise')

"""
I define a timbre as the following 2d numpy array:
[[f0, a0], [f1, a1], [f2, a2]...] where f describes the frequency
of the given partial and a is its amplitude from 0 to 1. Phase is ignored.
