A 3x3, 3x4 and 4x4 trilogy :
* is only 3 files which satisfies the demanded compactness
* is 9 to 16 times faster than individual studs which satisfies the demanded
speed & size gain
* covers any rectangle >= 6x6 which satisfies the demanded usability in the
large
* is still usable in the small
* can simulate 8x8 (copy-paste four 4x4)
An additionnal 4x3 is required to maintain stud orientation (for stud logo).
May be the best would be 5 files: 3x3,3x4,4x3,4x4 and 8x8.
What do you think?
