I'm terribly sorry. As the noob that I am, I have previously stated that the latest RPi4 can process Scalenet's 256MB blocks in just under ten minutes. I was wrong.

I had been running a Debug build all along.

For the uninitiated, the main build types are Debug and Release. The Debug preserve debugging information, but are slower. The Release discard debugging information to be faster.

I do my own builds, because I often tinker with the code, trying to tweak things.

I did a Release build earlier today, and instead of processing a 256MB block in just less than 10 minutes, my RPi4 did so in less than two minutes.
