Make I²C initialisation (Wire.begin()) not slow #1449
Description

Hi @matthijskooijman
Yes it is slow mainly on small device and it is mentioned in the Wiki:
https://github.com/stm32duino/wiki/wiki/Custom-definitions#i2c-timing
Simply define the I2C timing to avoid call this function as explained in the Wiki.

I'm running the Wire library on a G030 and noticed that initialization is super slow (
Wire.begin()takes 800ms).Digging into the code, I found
i2c_computeTiming()that contains 5 (!) nested forloops and essentially seems to just bruteforce all possible timing combinations or something like that.Note that I tested on an older version of the Wire library, but looking at the history of that file, I do not think this was fixed in the meanwhile.
Describe the solution you'd like
It seems like it should be possible to be smarter and also a lot faster about this.
