Mass arrays with mixed mutable and immutable values

Question

I am interested in the best / fastest way to do operations with an array (dot, outer, add, etc.), ignoring some values ​​in the array. I am mainly interested in cases where some (perhaps 50% -30%) values ​​are ignored and actually equal to zero with moderately large arrays, possibly from 100,000 to 1,000,000 elements. There are a number of solutions that I can think of, but none of them, apparently, can benefit from the possible advantages that allow to ignore some values. For instance:

import numpy as np
A = np.ones((dim, dim)) # the array to modify
B = np.random.random_integers(0, 1, (dim, dim)) # the values to ignore are 0
C = np.array(B, dtype = np.bool)
D = np.random.random((dim, dim)) # the array which will be used to modify A

# Option 1: zero some values using multiplication.
# some initial tests show this is the fastest
A += B * D

# Option 2: use indexing
# this seems to be the slowest
A[C] += D[C]

# Option 3: use masked arrays
A = np.ma.array(np.ones((dim, dim)), mask = np.array(B - 1, dtype = np.bool))
A += D
