Description
UVBeam also has some cython and looks to be mostly loops and computations. This another good place to see if numba is a better choice for future maintainability.

Research direction
Start by locating the UVBeam extension module and identifying its Cython loops and computations. Profile the relevant paths, then compare the maintainability and performance implications of a possible Numba approach. Done should document the profiling results and whether migration is a worthwhile future direction.
