Comment(by pbrod):

 The timings for the original version:
 {{{

 In [10]: x = np.arange(10)
 In [11]: %timeit X,Y = np.meshgrid(x,x)
 100000 loops, best of 3: 9.79 us per loop
 }}}
 compared to the new proposal:
 {{{
 In [12]: %timeit X,Y = meshgrid(x,x)
 10000 loops, best of 3: 33.4 us per loop

 In [13]: %timeit X,Y = meshgrid(x,x, sparse=True)
 10000 loops, best of 3: 18.3 us per loop

 In [14]: %timeit X,Y = meshgrid(x,x, sparse=True, copy=False)
 10000 loops, best of 3: 15 us per loop

 In [15]: %timeit X,Y = meshgrid(x,x, sparse=True, copy=False,
 indexing='ij')
 100000 loops, best of 3: 12.3 us per loop
 }}}
