Okay, that's where the issue is - you're doing a cross-match, that's
going to be comparing every label against every other.

You might be able to cache some references to part-way into the tree,
depending on how your code is written, but ultimately, you still need
to do all of those checks.

What's the definition of feasibility? Can you optimize that? Maybe
there's a way to do a rough check that cuts down the number you have
to do the exact check on.
