I have been working on this Vase Wing OpenSCAD project for a bit but Im still new to OpenSCAD and looking for some tips before I carry on.

My primary issue is that the Preview Pane is getting slow and it seems to be an issue for people especially on windows. Are there any OpenSCAD guru's on here willing to take a look and make some recommendations?

The project is on GitHub over here: https://github.com/Beachless/Vase-Wing

When I load your model and enable "Preferences > Features > vertex-object-renderers", the Preview pan/zoom/rotate goes much faster, and "vertex-object-renderers-prealloc" seems to reduce the Preview computation time.
