You've checked that the input and output files are the same size?
(obvious, but I haven't seen confirmation) If for some reason the
data in the slow file had been duplicated, you'd be dealing with
N× the data. I *presume* this isn't the case, but always better to
put a nail in that possibility.

I'd also be interested in what Vim thinks the file-type is in each
case.

:set ft?

I've seen slowdowns where syntax/ft highlighting can make a HUGE
difference.
