[Genhis/Rseding] Endgame trip to Shattered Planet is incredibly laggy

[Genhis]

First of all, thank you for optimizing this. That said, I'm still going to do what I can in game to try and keep the UPS up, but this point confuses me a bit. If I have a side-facing collector on, say, an arrowhead-shaped ship, where the asteroids are collected on the side, but to the left of any of the front collectors, e.g. like this:

It's mostly about keeping the number of idle asteroid collectors (caused by overlapping areas) to minimum, assuming they don't have empty filters list controlled by circuit network in which case they wouldn't track anything. Results may slightly vary due to implementation details.

I believe if you enable "show-selected-asteroid-collector-prospective-chunks" F4 debug setting, all chunks are hidden, except those that the asteroid collector you are hovering above is tracking.

The debug option only shows asteroid chunks which are iterated every tick, not all tracked chunks.

Ah, okay. So basically just having idle collectors (that are actively trying to collect chunks and aren't disabled by filters) is just bad, wherever they are? Seems like that's just a lot more likely to occur on the side, below other collectors that would pick up the chunks they're looking for before them.
