 * Means a minimum of 2x as much time spent resolving dependencies,

   resolution loop until no new pages are rebuilt.

 * Causes extra work for some transitive dependencies that we don't
   actually care about. For example, changing index causes
   plugins/brokenlinks to update in the first pass; if there's a second
   pass, plugins/map is then updated, because it depends on plugins/brokenlinks.

-  because we have only one kind of dependency.)
