Stop "Gap fill"?

I have a part I am trying to print (an enclosure for an 8unch LCD panel - I'll share once it is right ;)). Around the perimeter I have mounts to screw the back onto, however PS insists on doing some 'gap fill' of REALLY tiny gaps, which add large moves and time to the print for something that really isn't a problem. I've attach a screen cap, but to give scale the screw hole is 1mm in diameter, so the white gap fill is plugging gaps of less than 0.25mm. Is there anyway to turn off this behaviour?

Try setting gap fill speed to 0. It's stupid, but it works. I've opened a GitHub issue about this.
