context gets like 750k filled

Helped: Performance tests and comparisons between original and new code outputs.
I'm actually doing a big refactoring in a project where if everything gets loaded (code / docs), the context gets like 750k filled (Opus 4.8), and then the agent has the remaining ~200k to do actual coding, until I have to reset. I haven't finished the work but I'm like 80% there, and it seems the progress is good and the quality is also good, verified by doing some performance tests and a lot of comparisons between outputs between the original code and the new one. Maybe I could achieve better and quicker results with keeping the context in the proper zone, but trying it will have to wait until the next project.
