Fixes #2027
This is the performance patch I pulled from #2030 because it didn't seem necessary and changes the data distribution for some reason caused us to lose coverage.
I decided that the reason we lost coverage was mostly accidental - the previous tests couldn't reliably guarantee that coverage, they just happened to work - so I also added some tests for datetimes in this PR in order to get back to 100% coverage. I've also upped the
max_examples
count on one test that had become flaky, so I think there's some chance that this has made the data distribution slightly worse, but I think it's worth it for the performance gain.
