Wow nice find! Is the slow-down due to increased step time or increased number of iterations until convergence?

Already discussed offline, but for the record here: primarily more steps to converge. |

) Based on reported issue #3479, I root-caused a performance regression in bundle adjustment to different gauge fixing behavior. In particular, the change from fixing the gauge with two cameras vs. fixing it with three points causes a ~40% slowdown in global bundle adjustment. No significant difference can be measured in local bundle adjustment. I could also not find a significant difference in the obtained solution quality. This PR reverts back to using two cameras for fixing the gauge. If no such two cameras can be found, which can occasionally happen in case of configured non-trivial rigs, we fall back to fixing three points.
