Investigate and Fix Performance Bottlenecks

[Hoshiningen]

There are portions of the algorithm that run slow as the size of the image increases. It gets to the point were at reasonably large images (100px by 100px, or so) that the performance becomes unbearably slow.

Investigate the less performant portions of the algorithm and develop solutions to address those issues.

Acceptance Criteria

• The performance bottlenecks have been found
• A solution to address them has been decided on
• The solution has been implemented, and metrics have been recorded to compare against the less performant version
• A noticeable difference is measurable. The processing times are reasonably quick for the expected-size images (300px by 300px max)
