Make an Alternative version of 7.2.1 to work completely with Blender 3.6.9 (Very long and tedius compilation times in Blender 4+)

Hello FlailingFog nd Team,

The improvements made are great, including support for new headmods, but it is almost impossible to work in Blender 4 with this addon due to long compile times in Evee, many crashes also when finishing materials (at least using Evee Mod) excessive ram consumption (laptop freezes). This does not happen with the latest compatible version for Blender 3.6.9 KKBP porter 6.6.3. The difference in time and resources is really great. Why is it so important to make the version compatible with the latest Blender versions, especially when there are a lot of compile shader problems in those 4+ Blender versions. It has become almost unusable. Please add a fully functional alternative version for Blender 3.6.9, it makes the process much smoother and less time and resource consuming.

Sorry, I really only want to support the current LTS version of Blender, which is 4.2 LTS. I agree the version of EEVEE we got in 4.2 has terrible compilation times and has frequent random stuttering but it's not really feasible for me to fully support multiple versions. There’s some limited support for importing models into Blender 3.6, but the export features don’t work, and I don’t plan to fix them. I did simplify all the shaders in KKBP 8.0, and that did improve the compilation times by about 2-3x, but it's still nowhere close to the performance of 3.6 and the program is still prone to random stuttering. If you really need to use Blender 3.6 to import and export models, you’ll have to use older versions of KKBP.
