I'm running 3.7-2 and get timing similar to what you give
for 3.6:

real    0m0.167s
user    0m0.015s
sys     0m0.061s

Not sure what to say unless, if I downgraded, it would be
an order of magnitude faster ...

I wonder if maybe the new version triggers some anti-virus
activity or something like that.
