[Vimoutliner] Infinite loop on ,,cz

[Noel Henson]

Steve (and all),

It is not an infinite loop. Because it's recursive and starts computing for 
each child, the computation tree expands exponentially. When only one child 
is being updated, the entire tree from the top level down including the 
siblings of the child are all recomputed. In most cases of a group ,,cx or 
,,cz, check boxes are recomputed several times. I'll have to see if there 
is a way to speed the basic algorithm or to only compute the branch the 
,,cx-ed child is in, disregarding its siblings.
