 From IRC:

 {{{
 <marcopg> mchua_: I would apply this patch (reversed)
 http://dev.laptop.org/attachment/ticket/8372/numpy-sugar.patch
 and test both after and before on a clean 763
 }}}

 |Test case|

  1. clean-install 763 on an XO; boot it up.
  1. On that XO, measure memory usage. See
 http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Measuring_memory_usage.
  1. download the numpy patch: (In a terminal) {{{wget
 http://dev.laptop.org/attachment/ticket/8372/numpy-sugar.patch}}}
  1. reverse the patch, {{{patch -p0 -R < ./numpy-sugar.patch}}}. You will
 now have an XO running 763 but (hopefully) with this particular bug
 reintroduced.
  1. Measure memory usage again.

 Test passes if the clean-installed XO (1st time measuring memory usage)
 has better memory stats than the patch-reversed XO (2nd time measuring
 memory usage).
