It worked, but some colleagues at the time turned it off because it was
at the threshold of annoying.  Overall, it didn't perform so badly that
I think it would be a huge problem here, considering this is usually an
interactive operation, and I'm fine with adopting this solution for now
and then focusing on optimizing a bit more in the future.
