Wish DRIVE: Quality/Algorithm setting for decreased CPU option

Loving the richness and accuracy Cliff's latest drive block improvements. However, the CPU increase means many diode-based drives are running at 8.6-9.4% CPU (3% increase from 12.xx). This limits the number or types of drives available in higher CPU presets. See: Drive CPU usage 13.03

Wish: Mode or setting to reduce the "quality" or revert to the previous algorithm so that the CPU usage can be traded off with "quality".

+1.

I had to delete a block in about 40 presets because the CPU was over the limit after updating to 13.01.
 
For 22 of 36 drives models CPU is 8.6-9.4%.

Bumping this as I'm finding recent CPU increases slowing my more complex presets.

Cliff said he was also trying to speed up the diode calculations for the FM3 but so far hasn't had luck.
