Performance Enhancements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- VBENCH Cythonized ``cache_readonly``, resulting in substantial micro-performance enhancements throughout the codebase (:issue:`361`)
- VBENCH Special Cython matrix iterator for applying arbitrary reduction operations with 3-5x better performance than `np.apply_along_axis` (:issue:`309`)
- VBENCH Improved performance of ``MultiIndex.from_tuples``
- VBENCH Special Cython matrix iterator for applying arbitrary reduction operations
- VBENCH + DOCUMENT Add ``raw`` option to ``DataFrame.apply`` for getting better performance when
- VBENCH Faster cythonized count by level in Series and DataFrame (:issue:`341`)
- VBENCH? Significant GroupBy performance enhancement with multiple keys with many "empty" combinations
- VBENCH New Cython vectorized function ``map_infer`` speeds up ``Series.apply`` and ``Series.map`` significantly when passed elementwise Python function, motivated by (:issue:`355`)
- VBENCH Significantly improved performance of ``Series.order``, which also makes np.unique called on a Series faster (:issue:`327`)
- VBENCH Vastly improved performance of GroupBy on axes with a MultiIndex (:issue:`299`)
