I've taken some time to look at what is going on here and let me 
reassure you - internally stuff is still taking the same amount of time 
as previously. During a media architecture rework how translations are 
chosen was changed around a bit to not just take into account 
computational costs. What you are now seeing above is actually the 
internal "table cost" for choosing. I can certainly agree that this is 
not ideal. The subject has been brought up a few times but nobody has 
tackled making it reflect computational costs once again.

Cheers,
