My recommendation in that scenario would be to play with the value of
early_late_divider until you got something that worked for you. That's
why I made it a variable. :)

If there is a particular combination of things that have to happen
that early_late_divider won't work for, I'd be interested in hearing
that so that we could look at possibly adjusting the code if it's
possible.
