savefig very slow

Hi all,
I've noticed that savefig is very slow when I draw wind (using "quiver" and
"quiverkey" commands).

If I don't draw winds is very fast (2 seconds against 13 seconds).

Is possible to make the program faster? Any idea?

I use the 'Agg' backend and the latest version of matplotlib.

Thank you in advance,

Can you provide a standalone script that reproduces the problem? How many points are you plotting?

Cheers,
