Description

I haven't had the time to extensively test performance of each individual function of the new DynamicalSystems.jl v3.0 API. I've checked the over-arching performance, e.g., lyapunovspectrum has approximately same speed as before.

But one should be methodical here. All functions that participate in the DynamicalSystem api should be non allocating. E.g. set_deviations(tands, Q) should be non allocating regardless of what type of tangent dynamical system we have.

Someone should check these functions with the @benchmark from BenchmarkTools.jl.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Use BenchmarkTools.jl to benchmark each function in the DynamicalSystem API, focusing on memory allocations. Start with set deviations and other core functions. Trace the code paths to identify sources of allocations.
