Using the hand drawn style kills FPS performance

The hand drawn style provided by the Handy library, creates a less formal style of the visualizer. We've noticed that when this option is toggled on, frame rate performance drops.

To investigate:

  • Do we have to perform the calculations on each frame
  • Can we get away with more "loose" edges, and less demanding stressful operations per line drawn.

Currently 'h' will toggle on the hand drawn style.

Adding println(frameRate); we can get an idea of the frame rate. It varies between 20 + 40 fps, we're aiming for >60 fps so that it runs smoothly.

I've noticed that adding the "colour fill" drops the median frame rate from 60 -> 40 which seems extreme. Best to investigate.
