8 Gigabyte would take 2 seconds. Although the whole program fits
comfortably in RAM, it takes 30 times longer.
What gives?

I don't know (yet) how it works in Linux, but in Windows there
is something called 'Working-Set'. If I exceed that value,
things slow down.
It is quite difficult (if not impossible) to increase the
Working-Set without extensive knowledge (believe me, I tried).
In iForth I have about 0.7GB now, the WSL has 2GB, FireFox 1.6GB.
This is on a 32GB system with 20GB free.
