Well, on the test-case your change made recalculation linear (which is
good):

|  rows | seconds |
|-------+---------|
|  1000 |     1.5 |
| 10000 |      13 |
| 20000 |      25 |
| 30000 |      37 |

And you did so through an impressively light change: swapping two lines
with a test on `suppress-analysis'.

Thanks and regards.
