The change last week, which I thought of as creating an over-specified hierarchy in the demo/testing code had actually come darn close to simulating precisely a normal hierarchy. The extreme slowdown turns out to be a real effect that we ...

On the real system these don't have that much of an effect, but the demo/dev system is just crawling. Instead of a 20s cycle it's become a 3 or 4 minute cycle. That ...
