Given where the time is being spent, you could safely store all of the
node and fact information with almost no overhead. If you want this
information, then just include it every time, rather than making it
more complex by adding further options that have a miniscule affect on
time.
Really, if we just skipped the tags we'd be pretty good on time. :/
