+By default, for the `Contour` filter, `GenerateNormals` is now `true`, and `ComputeFastNormals` is `false`.

+The marching cubes version of contour still has several possible compile paths, so it can still take a bit to compile. To help manage the compile time further, the contour filter compilation is broken up even further using the instantiation build capabilities.
