SWI should load this *much* faster, so something is wrong.

Oddly enough, I cannot reproduce the problem with Swi. It is working
now. Maybe my screen session crashed or there was a server problem.
Thanks for your tips, anyway.

Here is part of my Swi session:

For help, use ?- help(Topic). or ?- apropos(Word).

?- consult(data).
% data compiled 6743.67 sec, 11,872,550,352 bytes
true.

Next time, try

?- qcompile(data).

That will load data and produce the file date.qlf. The next

?- [data].

will load data.qlf, which loads roughly 10 times faster (depending on
the structure of the data, whether loading is CPU bound or I/O bound,
etc.).

Enjoy --- Jan

SWI-Prolog continues to be one of the most well rounded Prologs out
there! Jan
your always willingness to help, give advice, and support is very much
appreciated.
I hope this community realizes what a valuable resource you are!!!!

In case you haven't heard it recently, thanx for the committment and
all your contribution
to the Prolog community.
