Description

We have Numba integration in Sugarscape example, but no proper comprehensive doc on how to effectively use it for other models.
Numba's usage isn't well-documented in the main documentation. The Sugarscape example shows how it's used, but this approach isn't generalized or explained in a way that would help users implement similar acceleration for other models.

Research direction

Start by reading the existing Numba integration in the Sugarscape example and the main documentation to understand what is already covered. Document how users can apply the demonstrated approach to other models, with examples beyond Sugarscape. Done means the generalized usage and effective acceleration guidance are explained clearly in the main documentation.
