Before: The stacker and processor used del(item) to get rid of the items causing /obj/movable/del() to spike up and cause fun amounts of lag. Also we have seperate variables for if a certain ore type is selected in the processing machine and the cooking portion of process() uses a huge string of if()'s which check 8 or so variables and is terrible and probably a pain in the ass should someone decide to later add ore types and recipes.
After: We just set item.loc = null when it goes in the stacker of processor and garbage collection takes care of it within a tick. Those different variables for ore selection are now just one variable which is a bitfield, much easier to read, much easier to expand upon.
Before: AI's on new APC system would constantly add more and more power usage to the APC
After: AI's no longer handle their power consumption, that has been pushed off to an /obj/machinery/ai_powersupply dummy object which will process the power usage. This is much cleaner because machinery objects are already processed properly for the new system and keeps us from having to rewrite a bunch of AI code to bring the AI in line with how the new APC system works.
Before: Every tick each HUD item would recalculate and redo images for every mob in view. For items like the secHUD where we're transversing implants and the various records this gets very expensive.
After: Mobs use their hud_list variable to store varius huditem images, when conditions change for those specific huditem images it updates the specific ones on demand. As a backup every 30 ticks or so the mob will update all of their hud_list.
Also: moved proc/RoundHealth() from 2 seperate locations into __HELPERS/mobs.dm

We no longer run auto_use_power() on every machine every tick.
We now have a global list of areas, and areas that have an APC in them (all_areas and active_areas) no more looping through world bullshit.
A bunch of snowflakey as fuck machines won't use_power() in their process, you get two options, active and idle, use them!
This means a lot of machines won't double dip on power as well so power usage for the station has dropped about 20%
Because everything is snowflakey as fuck we're going to have some machines that don't force an update on their power usage. Fuck them.
We should catch them with the root obj/machine/proc's forcing updates.
