Thanks for the PR!
Functionally, the secondary objective timeout should also be un-set.
From a style point of view, I think getting rid of the duplicate warning and simplifying the code path can be worth it.

The performance estimate after the split heuristic runs another binary
search (`optimize_binsearch`), which raises `SlothyException` on failure
rather than returning `success=False`. That exception propagated up and
discarded the already-optimized code. It also inherited the optimization
timeout, so a too-short timeout would abort it.
Catch the exception (warn and keep the optimized code without a stall
estimate) and disable the timeout for the estimate, since it only inserts
stalls into the already-fixed ordering.
