DOC: When should user even consider Numba? #58

Open pllim opened 2 years ago

pllim commented 2 years ago

Perhaps clarify in https://pyautogalaxy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation/conda.html#numba and https://pyautogalaxy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation/pip.html#numba a bit more to your users on when they should seriously consider taking advantage of Numba for this package. Do you see serious improvements when the CPU exceeds N number of cores or when user has certain models of GPUs? Did you benchmark this somewhere? When should they not even bother?

Bonus: Move similar contents in "conda" and "pip" sections to a shared page to minimize duplication.
