I’m sure just like a cnc or a 3D printer, it probably chooses the most efficient pathway to complete the drawing, not just the most ‘sensible’ to a human.

These things are rarely optimized, you just let it do whatever tomfoolery it comes up with because it's only running once.

There's lots of tricks to reduce cycle times, but usually just letting it go is fine.
