Robustin says:
The very heart of our overlay code, a single line that basically boiled
down to overlays = new_overlays, was the cause of so much overlay lag.
Human overlay code was by far the biggest culprit. Most objects have 0-2
overlays but humans are marching around with 20+ most of the time and
the current system was spending a LOT of effort comparing 20+ image with
20+ other images and then apparently rendering them all anyway. Human
overlays are at least 10x the cost of any other overlay process and on a
busy server the overlay compiling was 2x the cost of any other system.
I compared the cost of overlay changes by picking up/dropping a PDA in
the dorms 250 times, with a 50% chance to use our current overlay
compiler and a 50% chance to use a "direct addition/removal (+=, -=)
approach:
CURRENT 1120ms 133 (avg:8.4210529327392578)
SCRAPS 6ms 112 (avg:0.0535714291036129)
Now this PR makes our whole overlay subsystem use that approach for
overlay compiling and the early results look incredible. The best part
is this is just the START of improvements. Humans benefits the most
because their icon system was already designed for small, incremental
overlay updates. By moving other code from "Cut everything, then put it
all back" to only updating the necessary overlays (cough, APC's), we can
see similar improvements.

I've picked up this PR because robustin vanished, but I do see the value
in the approach, only things I added were the checks for the overlay
list len changing
I also retabbed the entire file because I am a brainlet and did it
without thinking

experimental: Chemistry now has something called specific heat. For the uninitiated, this is the thermal capacity of the reagent, much like how some atmospherics gases have different thermal capacities, making them able to absorb/release more energy per degree of temperature change!
rscadd: Plasma specific heat is 500J/K*unit, everything else is 200
/cl
In layman's terms, this means welding tools, bonfires, igniters, etc, will now actually generate heat. Attempting to build a bonfire inside the station without taking precautions is now a very bad idea.

add: Things that are capable of igniting plasma fires will now generate heat if there's no plasma to ignite. Building a bonfire inside the station without taking safety precautions is now a bad idea.

I don't want this merged as soon as, I'd just rather normal drones to go away if no-one offers to fix their broken state.
Going to see if I can find out from someone how to edit maps tomorrow to remove the dispensers from them since you can't make them and I swear I've seen them before.
remove any way to obtain drones outside the dispenser
remove dispenser from maps
Edit: To better explain for the sake of a good PR body and a lack of a link to the PR a day ago, drones have been in the code in roughly the same state for 3 years (dispenser PR by Xhuis is missing from GitHub) and have gained laws admins enforce when they notice drones doing the wrong thing due to it being a ghost role. The code verbally dictates this will happen. The role hasn't been coded to prevent these many wrong things and has weak balance to begin with being a monkey with a vent ready backpack.
Administration hasn't stopped caring about this role. It should be in their direct hands until the role is clearly not an administration problem and fixed to represent that.
