It's a waste of performance time: they don't change during planning.
Only entity classes changes during planning.
The clone() method is called every time a new best solution is found (to 
recall it later while the workingSolution proceeds).

This works even in the face of real-time planning, where the problem 
facts look like they change during planning,
but actually the problem facts only change "in between" planning, not 
during.
