The following table lists the first "clear" orbit number for
the 10/100 (respectively) diameter jump zones. Orbits interior
to these will have to make some accounting for travel to the star's
"clear" zone (sometimes trivial, somettimes NOT)

B0 6/10 5/9 5/9 4/8 4/8 3/7
B5 7/10 6/9 5/8 3/7 2/6 2/6

M9 13/19 12/16 11/14 9/13 xxx 0/0
I finally remembered what my fix for this was:
density * 10 or 100 = actual diameters of jump thresholds
For low-density bodies like GG's and stars, the "100-diameter"
mark is now at 20-40 diameters, which in most cases makes the
problem go away.
If you want to keep the long times for gas giants, one could
wave one's pseudo-physics wand and say it has something to do
with stellar-scale fusion reactions....
