+
+Compares xrspatial reproject (numpy backend, numba JIT) against rioxarray (GDAL warp) across 4 raster sizes, 2 CRS transforms, and 3 resampling methods. The **fastest** time in each row is bold.
+
+- **Test data:** synthetic terrain (sin/cos + Gaussian + noise) in EPSG:4326
+- **Transform:** identity (4326 to 4326) and geographic to Web Mercator (4326 to 3857)
+- **Resampling:** nearest, bilinear, cubic
+- **Consistency:** sampled at matching geographic coordinates (interior 90%), correlation and RMSE reported
