It seems to avoid the problem in this case at least. I can now insert 
over a million of the characters from the original recipe without a 
problem (and within 5 seconds) by changing the 16 in the original recipe 
to 20.

I think this change should go in the release branch, then we can close 
the bug (or lower its priority if you would rather continue to investigate).
