success using xarray.

I have time series data (x years of monthly values) at each lat/lon point
of a grid (x*12 times, lons, lats). I want to apply a function f() against
the time series to return a corresponding time series of values. I then
write these values to an output NetCDF which corresponds to the input
NetCDF in terms of dimensions and coordinate variables. So instead of
looping over every lat and every lon I want to apply f() in a vectorized
manner such as what's described for xarray's groupby (in order to gain the
expected performance from using xarray for the split-apply-combine
pattern), but it needs to work for more than a single dimension which is
the current capability.

Has anyone done what is described above using xarray? What sort of
performance gains can be expected using your approach?

Thanks in advance for any help with this topic. My apologies if there is a
more appropriate forum for this sort of discussion (please redirect if so),
as this may not be applicable to the original issue...
