_:_: for all fno normal[fno] = f (inputs)

_:_: for a few fno use normal[fno]

_: end loop

Since only a few of the face normals are used, it is a waste of time to calculate all of them every time around the loop!

This is replaced by code that does

_: loop

_:_: for all fno: normal[fno].deferred = true

_:_: for a few fno: use normal[fno], computing it from f (inputs) if is deferred, and changing it to being no-longer deferred

_: end loop

_: compute any remaining deferred normal[fno] before their inputs can change

_: change some inputs

_: use some normal[fno]

A variety of techniques have been used.

Deferring calculations until needed
