Stash Static Image Optimization

[grunger]

What does this suggestion add:
Converts the stash content renderables into static PNG thumbnails. Chemicals will appear as empty flasks that can be dynamically coloured to its respective colour via programming, or even something as primitive as a small swatch could be added with the chemical's colour. Item with non-square dimensions would simply have their thumbnails rotated to fit.

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
No

Possible Positives of the suggestion:

• Considerably less lag when navigating across the stash UI, especially with multiple stashes
• Items that were poorly positioned in the render would always be clearly distinguishable

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:

• Development time

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
Would save a lot of time and frustration in the long run versus what it would take in development resources.

I don't know why stash and inventories are so laggy, probably GLua shenanigans. I feel like they desperately need an optimistion pass and I believe there to be considerable incentive to do so.

The lag of the stash is the most annoying thing to me when it comes to them, so many times have I been trying to mass move things, and it takes a ridiculous amount of time waiting for the server to catch up with the move because of it needing to render everything. Perhaps make selected objects render only?
