I updated the installation instuctions in the README to prefer letting cupy build against a preinstalled cuda toolkit as the gain in performance is almost two-fold on our cluster.
I tried building cupy against a cuda toolkit in the miniconda environment, but the result was that cupy still installed against the system installation. So I just left it as the reliable option to pull it directly from conda-forge.
