These abbreviated cycles are much shorter than a cycle that performs evacuation and update references and tend to lower the average cycle time used by the heuristic to predict cycle times. This may cause the heuristic to wait too long to initiate a cycle and may lead to degenerated cycles. This change has the heuristic ignore abbreviated cycle times by default, with an option to have the heuristic count them as it does now.
