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
user    3m36.531s
