OT: Should we have a way of telling the optimizer how much time and
effort we would like it to go to? Some of the new optimizations and many
yet to come cover smaller and smaller sub-cases. 

At least internally, we could mark the cost-of-optimization as we go, so
we can play with the external interface later.
