OK, two things:
1. I was using UsbMount for the USB mounted hard drive, and it is slow by
default - writes are double-checked as they're written. Ref 'sync' in
https://github.com/hfuchs/usbmount/blob/master/usbmount.conf - so much time
lost :-(
MoreUtils' sponge (via pipe) made it faster to the same USB hard drive -
different low-level libc calls to openssl?
2. I made a mistake about the built in SSD - it was fast regardless,
despite previous advice.
