 Subject:   Long compile times with many empty bars 

Hello everybody,

I was a bit surprised that this snippet took so long to compile, and the 
time increases somewhat exponentially with the number of bars:

%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.19.80"
{
   \time 3/8
   s4.*500
}
%%%%%%%%%

The compile times on my machine were:
for 100 bars: 1.5"
   *200:   10.0"
   *300:   40.9"
   *400: 1'49"
   *500: 2'50"

Does that maybe warrant raising an issue?

Best, Simon
