'string=' is a pretty slow function. How long are the strings, and
where do the differences start to show up?
The strings are all < 24 characters long, with differences usually in
the first dozen characters.
Still, 932 seconds seems like an awfully long time. I notice that the
GC flipped, too. Who is consing?
REMOVE-DUPLICATES -- The only thing I was doing while waiting for it
to finish was running Terminal. I can try it again with GC off if you like.
