How high is high?
Perhaps this could be based on a (configurable?) ratio of observed planning time and projected execution time. I mean, if planning it the first time took 30 ms and projected execution time is 1 ms, then by all means NEVER re-plan. But if planning the first time took 1 ms and resulted in a projected execution time of 50 ms, then it's relatively cheap to re-plan every time (cost increase per execution is 1/50 = 2%), and the potential gains are much greater (taking a chunk out of 50 ms adds up quickly).
Cheers,
Bart
