This is an interesting collateral effect that I've not taken into
consideration just because I'm not an amanda hacker :)

Actually I've no idea how to reduce the estimate time... maybe only running
it on client side with the negative effects of this choice.

If no one finds out a solution to this problem maybe that what I've proposed
it is simply not feasible.

Thank you,
