A view observations after playing around a few hours.
- this behavior is also in the master: the section and the page must unnecessary recomputed, or better said, it gets the blue check, even when nothing, except moving or clicking (without changing anything) is done. Due this is very time consuming, this is pretty annoying. How this happens:
Click on the section (or view), section (or view) get the blue check, recompute section, page get the blue check, recompute the page, click on the section, section get the blue check, .....

- one odd behavior: i compiled the branch and started with new settings and change to allowed the crazy edges. I loaded the assembly (i always used the same file) and made a section. It works damn good. Only 2 very small face errors detections occurred (out of around estimated 400 faces, the hatches ware all correct, only 2 faces ware empty (gray when you pull the section out of the drawing sheet), but it does not matter in that case, to check if some hatched faces do not overlap, i hided the hatching and overflow the faces with the mouse, i saw no issues). Also it was a little bit faster then normal. Then made the parameter settings like you wrote above. There was no difference, even when i made a new section.
Then i started the branch like i start normal FreeCAD, liked to my settings files (see https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Start_up_and_Configuration). Then it do not work anymore. When i started the master and compared it, it was ident. Even when i edit the parameters and set the setting like you wrote above, it does not work anymore. The behavior is like in the master. Even when i started with plain settings again, it does not work more and the face detection is ident like in the master. Even worse, i get sometimes different face detections, without changing the model or change the scale. This is very weird. Even when i delete my "plain" settings folders, it does not work more. But it seems to have something to do with the settings. Also i can not delete all "plain" settings folders, because even with the new settings folder structure, FreeCAD seems to still save some settings in this "plain" folders (when i open FreeCAD with that and save some settings, they are sometimes when i open FreeCAD with my own settings.
- with the odd behavior above: the face detection is not the same result when the cut surface is hided. When hided, the faces are sometimes merged, even where there should not be a hatch. But when the hatches are not hided, it hatches correct (the merged faces are not merged anymore). Since i (or pretty sure others) want to hatch different parts in different shapes and sizes, it is not practical.
