Argh... I admit that it isn't a very clean way to do this. I'll try to 
find a better solution (never thought that it would be as tricky as it 
actually seems to be...)

Hmm... I'll try to introduce a --verbose mode that prints the time 
needed for each stage, so we can run a test suite and hopefully get to 
considerable defaults.
Can you propose a good way how to set the constants in Lily or SCM code?
