[pymvpa] running time

[Andrew Connolly]

hi,

I am running a searchlight classifier (radius=5) on a wholebrain volume
(41,742 vxs) using SMLR.  I have 16 conditions, 672 time points, and the
data are divided into 6 chunks.  Cross validation method is leave-one-out.
This is running on a fast computer (3GHz dual-quad core with 16G ram),
nonetheless it has been running for almost 24 hours.  Is there a way to
estimate the running time for jobs like this?  Or better yet, can someone
give me some advice about what I can do that would be faster.

I did not use the -O optimization flag when invoking python -- but still.
Maybe SMLR is not the best choice for this problem...???

any insights would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
Andy
