I wrote some benchmarks available here #295 (they can simply run as tests) and I have noticed that the datashader performance is worse than the matplotlib based one.
I think this maybe be due to the size of the canvas used by datashader since in the MERFISH example here #243 the performance was (as expected) better.
Therefore using a smaller default canvas size may fixed the issue. @Sonja-Stockhaus could you please have a look into this?
