Optimise initialisation

[chillenzer]

There are two things to do here:

• Only initialise the necessary parts of the memory (which should be a small fraction). The corresponding function already exists but @psychocoderHPC realised in FlatterScatter #271 (comment)_ that this is not actually used.
• Do this multi-threaded.

The memset that @psychocoderHPC found was completely redundant with the later init call. So, the first item is closed with #271 .
