Which is faster?
How much faster?

Method 1:
Apex point.
50 calculated cross-section profiles, 4 * 50 numpoints each. 50 arc lengths.
Loft of said point and 50 profiles.
1 baseline for flow.
1 3D logarithmic spiral for flow.
Flow to 3D logarithmic spiral.

Method 2:
Apex point.
1 calculated cross-section profile, 4 * 50 numpoints total.
49 more profiles, scaled from profile 1. 49 + 1 arc lengths.
Loft
1 baseline for flow.
1 3D logarithmic spiral target for flow.
Flow to 3D logarithmic spiral.

Method 3:
Apex point End.
1 calculated cross-section profile, 4 * 50 numpoints total.
1 calculated scaling rail curve, 50 calculated arc lengths.
1 3D logarithmic spiral, as sweep rail.
One Rail Sweep along the 3D logarithmic spiral, with the scaling rail.
Well, not sure just how the scaling rail would work. Flow would still be needed maybe, or not?


A more quickly calculated cross-section profile? (Something from Max?)
Reducing Slider parameter decimals from 3 to 2 or 1.
