post_init uses a new pattern. Do not rely on it except where absolutely necessary. It will hit slowdowns with very large worlds full of complex post_init behavior.

This issue has been resolved.
StdLib's method of storing post_init objects during world initialization causes some pretty huge delays when the number starts to border in the hundreds of thousands. It gets impossibly bad in the millions.

Unfrotunately this new pattern does have side effects for large worlds that don't use post_init at all. I wish there were some way around this, but there currently isn't.
