As a general thought, seeing that this might be an actual problem
should some kind of automated testing be added that checks for
performance regressions like this?
We normally try to catch these sorts of things with regression tests.
Of course, that requires having a test that would catch a particular
problem, which we don't seem to have for this particular case. A
performance test would also require testing a particular scenario, so
I don't see why that's better. A regression test is better suited as
there's no middle ground between pass and fail.
Yeah, that's the kind of thing I was thinking.
Any idea who normally does those, and if it would be reasonable to add
test(s) for the internal information tables?
