really didnt like how I explained this to restate it
profiling is quite difficult, and must be done with care because
its very easy to profile a bottleneck rather than the application
or code it self.
also added information its this line
```d
d[tuple(i, j)] = int(option); // off: 0, on: 1
```
this is being done as a Associative array rather than a normal
array
you could already improve performance by just using an array of
bytes or potentially better yet just singular bits for each light
and using boolean algebra for on, off, and toggle.
even as an array of bytes its 1mb
as bits its 125000 bytes
or 125 kilobytes
and every instruction would be much faster as well, and every
lookup should also be faster
