Pressure Equalizer from Prusa Slicer #3449

I would love to have the newly added feature in Prusa Slicer: Pressure Equalizer

I did not know that there is a such a feature. I have been using my own post-processor that adjusts the E acceleration depending on the perimeter type. It works pretty well. I am using dragon SF/HF hotends with 30-45mm cube/sec volumetric speeds. It helps a lot with especially when the volumetric print speed, hence the pressure, is close to the maximum. I've never found the linear advance/pressure advance of Marlin usable. I though that it should be part of the slicer and this certainly improves a bit over my post-processor that adjusts E acceleration.

This feature in PrusaSlicer is different: It adds gradients between changes in print head speed, and thus should result in smoother pressure changes. This would help a lot if you have issues at the start of a line with over or under extrusion.
