[ shrug... ] Insufficient data. When I try a simple test case based on
what you've told us, I get planning times of a couple of milliseconds.
I can think of contributing factors that would increase that, but not by
four orders of magnitude. So there's something very significant that
you've left out. Can you construct a self-contained test case that's
this slow?
