Blimey! I have just been running some Tensorflow stuff from python and
using the standard install for tensorflow a job took about 20 minutes
and warmed all 8 CPUs up over 60C and above. It did warn that there
were some SSE.2 and other optimizations that it had not been compiled
for so I spent some time building it for my machine and getting it
working. It now runs nearly twice as fast and about 5C cooler.

I'm surprised there was such a difference but its worth considering
for any any Maths intensive code!

*cough* Gentoo ...



But I would imagine the python pip setup is not compiled as its downloaded on Gentoo!
