I'll answer myself here...
This seems to be a CPU cache issue. Below this limit I see:
4,469,985 cache-misses:u # 0.336 % of all cache
refs
35,279,259,258 instructions:u # 1.70 insn per cycle
(100.00%)
Above the limit I get:
194,571,782 cache-misses:u # 30.322 % of all cache
refs
18,084,891,734 instructions:u # 0.73 insn per cycle
So no wonder things take a turn for the worse.
I'll have to think a bit on how to make this more efficient. Ideas are always
welcome.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
