Are you saying you're running into unaligned accesses? I don't think
there should be any.

Wow, thanks for your patience!

My system has about 28x the bogomips of yours and runs the tests in
just under 5 minutes. 145.85m / 28 = 5.2m so it seems to be scaling
pretty linearly with bogomips. The remainder looks like it can be
accounted to waiting on I/O, because user+sys is only ~124m.
