Comment(by mwiebe):

 I made a pull request which gives some speedup.

 {{{
 # BASELINE:
 In [16]: timeit a = np.arange(100000)
 1000 loops, best of 3: 241 us per loop

 In [17]: timeit range(100000)
 100 loops, best of 3: 2.29 ms per loop

 In [18]: timeit a.tolist()
 100 loops, best of 3: 14.9 ms per loop

 # WITH PATCH
 In [3]: timeit a = np.arange(100000)
 1000 loops, best of 3: 245 us per loop

 In [4]: timeit range(100000)
 100 loops, best of 3: 2.4 ms per loop

 In [5]: timeit a.tolist()
 100 loops, best of 3: 3.57 ms per loop
