It's actually just the shear weight of all the algorithms currently
available. I'll need to disable them all, and then slowly bring them
back online one-by-one as they are ported to the new API. I was
initially trying to do this work "seamlessly", but I'm finding it far
too slow and that I'm making too many compromises in the c++ code to
maintain this approach.

I'd rather go for short term pain and a better platform moving forward :)
