What happened here?
1024000 items fit into real memory; 2048000 didn't
The OS had to start swapping pages to disk
Program run time was dominated by the swapping time
For large input lists, this program is memory bound
Its slowness is caused not by excessive computation but by excessive memory usage
Performance will be most improved by reducing memory usage
