Actually, thinking about it, I wonder if it's the string slicing in
getting the data out of zlibstream that is taking the time.  I suppose
that might happen if you have lots of tiny matrices in there.  Could
you try:

import scipy.io.matlab as matlab
matlab.bench()

What kind of numbers do you get?

Best,
