XML2PMX was written for the Oberon system and I conjecture that the Linux version uses an emulation of the Oberon system which is likely too big for your system, so it's swapping pages to and from your hard drive. What can you do? You could take it to a computer repair place and ask whether they can add more memory. You could also replace the hard drive by an SSD, which would improve the performance of everything. Even better would be that Dieter find someone who can translate his Oberon code to C.
