Did it catch or solve your problem?

No, I reproduced it reliable with GraphHopper program as I reported in 
8041984. The data connection graph is way too complex and it take a lot 
of time to build (about 20000 nodes in graph). I did not find a solution 
other than to check time on each build's iteration and bailout. I 
understand that the algorithm used to build the graph may be not optimal 
but we don't have resources to work on it now.

Yes, it would be nice if you can provide a simple (small number of 
nodes) test which we can run. It may help to identify particular parts 
in code which we can improve.
