=== Description

The current implementation of RGB light penetration in traqsr (either varying or constant chlorophyll) uses 6, domain-sized 3D, temporary arrays which can be reduced to a few 2D arrays. The impact of the current implementation is most evident at lower processor counts where the impact of the extra 3D arrays can cause cache-misses and memory band-width issues. In an extreme case traqsr can switch from consuming 2% of run-time to 68% (comparing ORCA025 running on 200 cores vs 48 cores).

A simple redesign of the algorithm should remove this behaviour.
