BTW, the bottom line is that the compilation time of the original problem went from **2800 to 7** seconds after working through the code with `@snoopi_deep`. Yes, you are reading that right. _And_ runtime got 3x faster as an incidental bonus, though it was not targeted.

(There is, of course, a downside: I was using the compilation time to practice fingerstyle guitar and got pretty good at some songs, now I will have to find other time for that.)
