    go into statistics computation, for a portfolio of tens of thousands
    positions that part of the problem will be starting to overtake the
    simulation costs.
 
    \todo: someone with sound experience on cache misses look into this, the
    statistics will be getting memory in and out of the cpu heavily and it
    might be possible to get performance out of that.
    \todo: parallelize the statistics computation, things like Var/ESF splits
    are very expensive.
    \todo: consider another design, taking the statistics outside the models.
