I think we're using the Reingold/Dershowitz algorithms, so looks like we can do a lot better.

We have put some time into improving the performance of the Reingold-Dershowitz algorithms, and they are substantially faster in our Rust implementation than in Lisp for instance, but I don't know how the benchmarks compare.
