I think I can give it a try. I just need a bit more time to set up the
debugger workflow, since I run GDM only once in a few years :)

I also do not really understand the meaning of "cost" here and what metrics
we use to measure that. But, I'd assume it is something empirical.

Since we found the point which fixes it (cost calculation) I will try to
understand how it works better. and How having content on the right window
might affect the cost calculation.
