    '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.
