Perhaps this could be based on a (configurable?) ratio of observed planning
time and projected execution time. I mean, if planning it the first time
took 30 ms and projected execution time is 1 ms, then by all means NEVER
re-plan. But if planning the first time took 1 ms and resulted in a
projected execution time of 50 ms, then it's relatively cheap to re-plan
every time (cost increase per execution is 1/50 = 2%), and the potential
gains are much greater (taking a chunk out of 50 ms adds up quickly).

Cheers,
Bart
