Comment (by cremona):

 Replying to [comment:2 ylchapuy]:
 > I don't really know what makes it slow. I suspect the use of "hash" is
 costly but I see no other way to partition generically a group in
 approximately equal size chunks.

 That is probably right.  It might be worth putting in a comment (or a
 docstring sentence aimed at future developers) saying that the efficiency
 of the functions depends on having a fast hash.
