On i7-3770:
    Array filled in 3.808 seconds.
    Bytes counted in 0.220 seconds.

With size changed to 256MiB:
    Array filled in 10.321 seconds.
    Bytes counted in 0.596 seconds.

What is going on here?  The i7 should be way faster than an
XP-generation machine.  What cpu does the XP machine have?

Anyway, the speed is pretty good.  I might try using ocaml.
