As I said before, in this case it's more correct to use 3-4disc primitive, to
avoid the T type juntions.

Yes, cracks may appear ! Same problem like in a T type junction
But has someone said, nothing like real/concrete testing, so here you have the
4-4disc.dat changed by me, using the exactly same points, (except the center),
including the precision.

Remember to keep a copy of the official version, to replace after, because you
may not like the speed up! ;)
So try it with a huge *.dat file, and if you have a 3D hardware accelerated
board, you will see some difference, since the bottleneck is your processor.
software renders will benefit, but not as much, since here the bottleneck is the
actual drawing in the screen.
See ya
