Now n-dimensional interp works sequentially if possible.
It may speed up some cases.

can we add one more line describing the improvement?

Can we test both linear and nearest methods?

len(indexes_coords) > 1
and method in ["linear", "nearest"]
and all(dest[1].ndim == 1 for dest in indexes_coords.values())
and len(set([d[1].dims[0] for d in indexes_coords.values()]))

This condition is confusing me. This will not speed up this case:

da = xr.DataArray(
        np.arange(6).reshape(3, 2),
        dims=["x", "y"],
        coords={"x": [0, 1, 2], "y": [-0.1, -0.3]},
)

x_new = xr.DataArray([0.5, 1.5, 2.5], dims=["x1"]) 
y_new = xr.DataArray([-0.15, -0.25, -0.35], dims=["x1"])
da.interp(x=x_new, y=y_new)

Correct? Is that intentional?

Thanks @dcherian
It was intentional, but you are right. This case can be also improved.

da.interp(x=x_new, y=y_new)

should be equivalent to

da.interp(x=x_new).interp(y=y_new)

But then I'm a bit confused about which case should be improved.
For example if len(x_new) = len(y_new) = 1000000, then the original interpretation may be faster, although this is a rare use case.
Maybe we can use some heuristics, such as

len(x_new) < len(x)

?

I'm now thinking that the simpler behavior is better; for an orthogonal interpolation we interpolate sequentially and otherwise we use interpn.
Further improvement may be done in upstream.

Sounds good.

        dims=["x", "y"],
        coords={"x": [0, 1, 2], "y": [-0.1, -0.3]},
)

x_new = xr.DataArray([0.5, 1.5, 2.5], dims=["x1"]) 
y_new = xr.DataArray([-0.15, -0.25, -0.35], dims=["x1"])
da.interp(x=x_new, y=y_new)

It looks that this case is not slow even with our current code.
The problem is when the final destination is a regular grid, where interpn will compute many times.
So, probably this PR should work good enough for this case.
