Dear Peter

Yes the f[t] or f[:,:,:] might give  a marginal increase, but then i need
to do further operations  using the indices, in which case this wouldnt help


Dear Wojciech

np.flat() works if u dont care about the indices and only the matrix/array
values matter.
but if the <i,j,k> matters, flatten wouldnt work
