The node should be faster than in 3.1, for a few reasons:
- It doesn't need to calculate and allocate the curve offsets.
- It doesn't need to de-reference a pointer for each curve.
- The inputs are accessed from the virual arrays fewer times.
On top of that, I added two other performance improvements:
- The node is multi-threaded when there are many curves.
- There are generated special cases for single value and span inputs.
To make the code a bit simpler, I added new methods to IndexRange
to mirror what is available for Span.
Performance
With a set position node affecting 1 million splines with a selection
based on this node, on an Intel i5 8250U (times are approximate):
| Before | After | Speedup |
| 760 ms | 60 ms | 13x |
This will also include the performance increase for the set position node
from 4c66bd5da256779ef5a308d86a.
