Currently, the assimilation is done very fast by assuming the prior covariance is diagonal. A second stage would use this fast solution as a way of preconditioning the problerm, or as a first guess. There are quite a few options on how to do this efficiently in the literature, but it's hard to see which one fits the use case we have.
