Ore generation is slow #341

Ore generation is slow and maxes out CPU cores for a while.

A friend had the same issue (his specs here: http://whendowegetthededi.co.cc/ ): Azelphur: I tried enabling it last night but it 100%'d the server.

Ores are generated roughly the same way that the "complex" generator works, and are correspondingly slower than "simplex" by around 128x. It's a spendy set of operations.

I'd like to just say that it'll be far faster under PyPy, but that's not really much of a comfort for you right now. If you can find any way to speed it up, or an alternative algorithm which produces acceptable results, then I'd be interested.

Renaming to make it more obvious what the problem is here.

PyPy absolutely demolishes the benchmark for ore generation. I'm going to just mark this down as a case of "use PyPy" in the docs.
