Change of plans

More or less done with optimising the activation function in python, just realised that I should probably roll back to the original code now. While I could potentially get some speed-ups, the whole approach seems to be a bit pointless since I will ANYWAY have to take the optimisation down to the C level and undo all the changes I will have done in Python. It sort of made sense when I though it was going to be a quick and easy hack, but turned out not to be so and any further work in that direction would be a waste of time.

Next step will be writing a program in C that works roughly the same way as DotProduch_opt, and then trying out several approaches at optimising it to pick the best one.
