It doesnʼt make a significant difference, so I donʼt think thereʼs any
point in complicating the code:

With patch, run 1:

real	4m21.097s
user	3m39.020s
sys	0m33.267s

With patch, run 2:

real	4m13.649s
user	3m34.102s
sys	0m31.834s

Without patch, run 1:

real	4m15.264s
user	3m34.305s
sys	0m32.719s

Without patch, run 2:

real	4m18.266s
