I found that the kernel has special support for `e =?= true`, and will
in this case aggressively whnf `e`. This explains the following behavior
(for a `sqrt` function with fuel):
```lean
theorem foo : sqrt 100000000000000000002 == 10000000000 := rfl -- fast
theorem foo : sqrt 100000000000000000002 = 10000000000 := rfl -- slow
theorem foo : sqrt 100000000000000000002 = 10000000000 := by decide -- fast
```
The special support in the kernel only applies for closed `e` and `true`
on the RHS. It could be generlized (also open terms, also `false`, other
data type's constructors, different orientation). But maybe I should
wait for evidence that this generaziation really matters, or whether
all applications (proof by reflection) can be made to have this form.
