Comment:

 I'm not even convinced this should be considered to be a bug. Various
 programs require varying amounts of effort from the simplifier; it is fair
 to say that `accelerate` sits on the high end of this spectrum. Do we
 really want to set the default simplifier tick factor to accommodate this
 extreme case?

 For the moment I'm going to lower the priority of this ticket, although
 arguably we could just close it.
