as rapidly as once thought中once thought的问题

There was nothing heartening in the news: from the debate over Irans nuclear intentions and what should be done about them to a new report suggesting the Gulf oil spill is not breaking down as rapidly as once thought.

请问老师关于 as rapidly as once thoughtonce thought不是很理解,as rapidly as once thought=as rapidly as (the Gulf oil spill is)once thought (breaking down rapidly)这样对吗?谢谢老师

the Gulf oil spill is not breaking down as rapidly as once thought

=the Gulf oil spill is not breaking down as rapidly as was once thought
=the Gulf oil spill is not breaking down as rapidly as it was once thought that it would do

as比较分句省略了形式主语it和that从句,从句中的it指the Gulf oil spill, would do替代would break down。然后was可以进一步省略。最终得到as once thought。
