Bad news, most of the time is eaten by processRecentChanges()... which
fetches 18873 objects and modifies 3 of them.

  I can't see where it can occur except in EntityClassDexcription's
  propagateDeleteForObject().  Can you be a little more explicit about
  the model (maybe w/ names like A, B and Cs if you cannot disclose the
  real names), and esp. the relationship between the deleted object's
  entity and other entities?

As far as I can see, the propagation of the deletion implies the
modification of 3 objects, so the relationship linking these objects to
the deleted object must be a DELETE_NULLIFY one; now I'd like to know
more about the type of the relationships (toone/tomany).  In particular,
I'd like to understand why so many objects are fetched (is there, by any
chance, a to-many relationships without an inverse relationship defined
pointing back to the object?)

NB: In case it might help: you can quickly see how many objects of which
    type are in the ec w/ something like::

      d=3D{} # { "entity name": nb_of_objects }
      for gID in ec._uniquingTable.globalIDs():
        d[gID.entityName()] =3D d.setdefault(gID.entityName(), 0) + 1
