# Handling of irreducible Meataxe modules with lots of generators was far
# slower than necessary at least via the "high level" Meataxe APIs.
# See also <https://github.com/gap-system/gap/issues/6271>.

# The main test here is for performance: before the fix for issue #6271 this
# would have run for minutes, with the fix it should take far less than a
# second on modern computer..
