  • Add `flood` demos & timing, README

    Add `flood` demos & timing, README

    This greatly expands the comparison between Python & Julia wrt abstraction in image processing. Via a new flood example, it demonstrates the limitations in available Python tools and the flexibility of simple Julia implementations.

    It also expands & increases consistency of timing measurements, and comes with a detailed README that should let readers replicate these results on their own machines.

    Julia/Python comparisons using dask

    For lazy array computation, the de facto champion of the Python ecosystem appears to be dask. While there's no doubt that it's an impressive package, it also effectively shows off Python's limitations.
