Not too familiar with typical speeds, but at a guess, perhaps because it
must convert 61.4 million (640*480*200) values?  Just to *count* that high
with xrange takes 1.6 seconds for my computer.  I imagine doing further
operations (like converting into a numpy array) on other Python objects
(like lists) might be similarly slow.
