I change a for loop in the opd_from_zernikes function in Zernikes.py to an Einstein sum. This produced a significant speedup in code that I wrote (JWST field dependence model in WebbPSF) that uses the function heavily. This employs the Numpy einsum function, which is a highly optimized, multithreaded implementation. Possibly downside is that the Einstein sum notation is a little less readable to most people.
