You are probably saving it as formatted as ascii. That takes a lot of time. Use binary (or hdf5 or mat)

Thank you both! Yes, I had been doing the default save which saves it in ASCII.

On average, -hdf5 takes 14s, -mat takes 9s, and -binary takes 6s to save. Loading from -binary took only 7s.

This is another good reminder to go back and question the inconveniences I grew accustomed to as a beginner, before knowing that they could be resolved...
