Limit the date range to one day, instead of a year.
On my local machine the following goes from taking 12 seconds to 0.6 seconds.

In preparation of adding futures, add equity to the names of both the
classes and methods for writing bcolz data. Futures data will use a
different minutes per day with a separate reader. This change will allow
both equity and futures fixtures to be side by side.
Also, break out the method which generates the dataframes and trading
days member into fixtures (`EquityMinuteBarData` and
`EquityDailyBarData`) on which the `*BarReader` fixture depends. This
fixture is separated out to enable reader/writers in different formats
to use the same data setup. (There is internal code which needs to write
minute and daily bar data in a database format.)
`AverageDollarVolume` used `nanmean`, which discards NaNs before
averaging, giving an ADV which is too high for any equities that have
any NaNs.
Changing the method to `nansum` divided by window length so that the
denominator is the same no matter whether there are NaNs or not.
The `DataSource` class and other classes derived from it are no longer
used. Instead `DataPortal` and various `MinuteBarReader` and
`DailyBarReaders` should be used.

Use arrays in more places, and use permutations of indexers instead of
permutations of the values.
MAINT: add testing of boundary conditions
MAINT: use check_arrays to work with both pandas versions
Since the CME calendar was based off of the NYSE calendar, closings for
Hurricane Sandy were included, but shouldn't have been for CME.
This is the explanation we had included prior to the new exchange
calendars:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_sandy
We *do not* add any non-trading days for Hurricane Sandy. Although
trading on CME Group exchanges was disrupted, trading still occurred at
some point on each day. Importantly, the disruptions do not appear to
have affected the expiration dates stipulated in the futures contracts
expiring during this period.
Trading of CME US equity index futures & NYMEX futures was disrupted due
to the hurricane's impact on New York. CME US equity index futures
markets were disrupted on October 29th 2012, but reopened at 5:00pm CT.
The US equity index markets were closed from 8:15am CT on October 30,
both for the trading floor and CME Globex. The trading floor of the
NYMEX was closed on October 30, but all floor-trading products were
available electronically on CME Globex.
