Not ready to submit for merge as dependent on preceding merge of #402, params

see benchcab analysis

Note: comparison here is to branch #402

Looks okay but I think we've gone backwards with the changes to the spitter call - Needs checking.

One last thing - did you look at the benchcab analysis? I couldn't really make any sense of it. Some slightly better, some slightly worse it seemed.

DOH!! Because of the lag in submitting these to main, and they are all sequential , and somewhat dependent on the previous tranche of developments, I branched this (or at least compared it to the pre-ceding, related issue #402 ). Unfortunately this hadn't gone through, I hadn't remembered weeks later that I had "compared" to the 402 branch in this PR and so when merging was approved/executed - it went back to the params branch.

In the interim I have addressed the comments about cable_surface_types in #436. This PR will/should go through fairly quickly. Regardless, I need to, it will be cleaner if I rebase from main post #436 going in AND then re-submit this PR.
