No, but feel free to profile and suggest Elisp changes or algorithmic
changes.  Maybe the vconcat re-allocations in breadcrumb--ipath-plain
re-allocations are to blame?  It's O(N^2) allocations I think.  What's
the length of bc--ipath-plain?  17500ish?  If so, then the thing would
be to reserve some space in the vector upfront, but I don't know how
to do that easily in Elisp (in CL there's VECTOR-PUSH and
VECTOR-PUSH-EXTEND).  Or maybe the vector could be list instead, though
that would possibly slow down things elsewhere.

I'm of course just guessing and leaving these notes for the curious, I
won't be tackling this myself.

Yes, there is `breadcrumb-local-mode`.
