This bug is "superseded" by

be fixed until we reimplement the mesh refinement.

Title:
  Local refinement scales poorly

Status in DOLFIN:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Bug reported by Glenn Terje Lines.

  Local refinement seems to be n^3 in the number of cells.

  Can be reproduced with the following code:

  from dolfin import *
  import numpy
  import time
  import random

  mesh = UnitCube(10,10,10)

  
  for i in range(10):
      mf = MeshFunction("bool", mesh, 3)
      k = 0
      for cell in mesh.cells():
          mf.values()[k] = (random.random()>0.5)
          k += 1
      t0 = time.time();
      mesh = refine(mesh,mf);
      dt = time.time() - t0;
      print i, dt, k, k/dt

  Results:

  # results
  P = numpy.array([
  [0,0.144922018051,6000,41401.5763835],
  [1,0.398217916489,11904,29893.1803596],

  n = P[:,2];

  import pylab
