Hm, ok, let me run that as well then. The reason for the massive
performance difference presumably is that
MaintainOldSnapshotTimeMapping() is cut short due to
/* No further tracking needed for 0 (used for testing). */
if (old_snapshot_threshold == 0)
return;
which means that OldSnapshotTimeMap isn't acquired exclusively.

I'll run with -1 once the current (longer) run has finished.
