The inactive time stamps are available again in the "wip-agenda-speedup"
branch.
Make sure to delete any local branch and start anew if you tried it
already. Also make sure to clear the cache, e.g., restarting the Emacs

From now on, there will be no more rebasing on that branch, only regular
commits.
Feedback still very welcome.
