Description
Avoid reallocating vectors with every push_back +avoid using std::vector when not necessary (replace with std::array if possible).
Constants VectorPrealoc and VectorPrealoc3 serve as initial preallocated size of the vectors, may be fine tuned for balanced usage of RAM.
There is much more space for optimization, but this one really brought the biggest benefit.
Behaviour/ Breaking changes
Removes lagging of recalculation of extrusion visualization (3d extrusion, Quad_HR)
Have you tested the changes?
Yes, I did 2 prints with extrusion visualization and compared to previous state. Each print took roughly 1 hour. The lagging disappeared, the rendering is visibly faster.
