I think it would be good to integrate this functionality during the refactoring. The benefit can be significant I guess and just documenting how to do it manually is not very user-friendly (at least for me as a user). Some questions/comments:

  • Do we have some actual numbers on the speed-up depending on cell size and complexity?
  • The implementation should go to _as_array (-> the callable implementation).
  • I would suggest to use try ... except, try numba first and if it fails use the simple for loop (+ logging, maybe debug level, to know what is going on).

self.array = _as_array(val, self.mesh, self.dim, dtype=self.dtype)
if callable(val):
nb_value_func = nb.guvectorize(
[(nb.float64[:], nb.float64[:])], "(n)->(n)", nopython=True

What happens if nopython=True is wrong? Is it ignored or does it raise an exception?
