If possible, I would like to have internal bridge speed calculated separately from external (surface) bridges. I print external bridges quite slowly in order to maximize surface quality. While this works well for me, the result is that internal bridges (i.e. the supporting dense layer and first solid layer above infill) can take forever. Since the purpose of slow bridges is surface quality and these layers aren't exposed, it would make sense to have them be able to move significantly faster.

The pictures above show the standard external bridge which I would like to keep slow.

bridge 3bridge time 3

These are the layer time estimates for the supporting layer and the first solid layer. Since all of the infill is calculated at bridge speed, it takes a very long time to complete them. For comparison, the next solid layer, calculated at standard solid infill rate, is below.

Separating out bridges where quality is less important and printing them faster will reduce print times, potentially by a lot depending on the part's surfaces.

And separate speed for "inner bridge" (the ones over sparse infill)
