discovery: cache the children mapping used during each discovery
During discovery, the `undecided` set keep shrinking. Therefore, the map
computed for an iteration N will be valid for iteration N+1. Instead of
computing the same data over and over we cache it the first time.
Our private pathological case speed up from about 7.5 seconds to about 6.3
seconds.
