WPF Wavy Underline Bold/Larger Fonts

In a previous discussion, bstoney provides a very nice example of how to wavy underline some text in WPF.

Python Numpy Very Large Matrices

Numpy is an extremely useful library, and from using it I've found that it's capable of handling matrices which are quite large (10000x10000) easily, but begins to struggle with anything much larger (trying to create a matrix of 50000x50000 fails).
