Any% Notes

Some rough notes for people to work off should they be interested in running the game.  Will likely update them in the future, we'll see.  Teos and Origin route seems stable, don't know how much more you can squeeze out of the game.  Likely that GigaOrigin will play a big role in more optimized times.
