Currently the PROJECT_SPOTS module consumes a large amount of RAM and is quite slow, due to the fact that spots are actually written into 2d numpy arrays and saved as a multi-channel tiff. This behaviour is not necessarily required, as quantification of spots per cell can be performed much faster and more efficient. The default method should be more lightweight and could replace PROJECT_SPOTS and MCQUANT.
