So I tried to benchmark my code, and it works for very small numbers of
tests.
2 repetitions:
      user     system      total        real
  0.871000   0.010000   0.881000 (  0.902000)
5 repetitions:
      user     system      total        real
  2.323000   0.050000   2.373000 (  3.024000)
15 repetitions however gives the same problem - 5 minutes after I started
the program I killed it.

Can someone help me understand if this is a problem with benchmark or with
my code?
