I wouldn't have expected product() to be significantly faster, but neither 
did I expect it to be slower.

For your testcase you can shave off a small amount by avoiding the tuple-
unpacking

for t in product(...):
    f[t] = 0.0

but that may be cheating, and the effect isn't big.

When you are working with numpy there may be specialised approaches, but

    f[:,:,:] = 0.0

is definitely cheating I suppose...
