- The cutout router uses the circle packer alone for a round hole whose
inserts are all round. Lattice and NFP never placed more there, and when
demand exceeded what fit they spent 20+ minutes on one job.
- The cutout pre-pass skips a hole whose area is smaller than an insert's
outline, so bolt holes no longer run the searches.
- Circles re-packs its last sheet, and its last two sheets together, onto
each single stock and keeps the result when the whole job gets cheaper.
On 14 real round-part jobs costs are unchanged and pipeline time drops from
262 s to 144 s for Circles and 355 s to 245 s for Default.
