What is your hold state? In your test function you may want to make
sure you are not repeatedly adding data to the same figure. Eg
p1.plot(something, hold=False)
repeated calls to plot where hold is True can cause significant
slowing... In mpl hold is True by default and in matlab it is False by
default but you can set the default as an Axes property or in your rc
file.
