+    ``O(num_mc_samples * num_params)`` posterior-mean evaluations per call. On a
+    fully Bayesian model each of those is multiplied by the number of MCMC

+    (``get_standard_plots``, ``SensitivityAnalysisPlot``, ``OverviewAnalysis``)
+    pay this cost once per call and are dominated by it.
+
+    Note that ``mock_botorch_optimize`` does not help here: it makes *fitting*
+    cheap, not posterior evaluation.
+
+    Do not use this in tests that assert on sensitivity values, since a small
