Do any of the caveats on the Scaling docs page need updating after all these improvements? e.g. it currently says
In theory multiple blockwise operations can be fused together, enhancing the performance further. However this has not yet been implemented in Cubed.

Yes, thanks for raising this. I've opened #381 to track documentation changes.
This is an umbrella issue for tracking the work on optimizations in Cubed.
Creation optimizations
Making creation operations more efficient, typically by not materializing unnecessary data.
Fusion optimizations
Currenly we fuse map blocks operations with one input, but there are more types of fusion we could implement.
Reduction optimizations
Reduction operations like
sum
andmean
could be improved by minimising the amount of data transferred.High-level query optimizations
Re-writing array expressions to an optimized form (before applying the optimizations above).
Benchmarking and runtime
Testing the effect of the optimizations above.
