Emacs-mac 26.1 port on OSX from Macports. Or Emacs 25.3 downloaded from https://emacsformacosx.com/builds Are you sure you hd 200 baz blocks? I'm not actually able to test with that many. 10 takes 1 second. 20 takes 10 seconds. 30 takes 30 seconds. It seems to grow exponentially. I don't have the patience to debug how long 100 takes. -k.
