+/* When converting bytes from/to chars, we look through the list of
+ markers to try and find a good starting point (since markers keep
+ track of both bytepos and charpos at the same time).
+ But if there are many markers, it can take too much time to find a "good"
+ marker from which to start. Worse yet: if it takes a long time and we end
+ up finding a nearby markers, we won't add a new marker to cache this
+ result, so next time around we'll have to go through this same long list
+ to (re)find this best marker. So the further down the list of
+ markers we go, the less demanding we are w.r.t what is a good marker.
+
+ The previous code used INITIAL=50 and INCREMENT=0 and this lead to
+ really poor performance when there are many markers.
+ I haven't tried to tweak INITIAL, but experiments on my trusty Thinkpad
+ T61 using various artificial test cases seem to suggest that INCREMENT=50
+ might be "the best compromise": it significantly improved the
+ worst case and it was rarely slower and never by much.
+
+ The asymptotic behavior is still poor, tho, so in largish buffers with many
+ overlays (e.g. 300KB and 30K overlays), it can still be a bottlneck. */
