You're forcing PWB to close all files, swap itself to disk,
do what you asked, swap itself back, and reopen everything.
If your hard disk isn't the eigth wonder, this is bound to
be slow.  My suggestions:
  -  Use the command line version of CL, or
  -  set up a RAM drive, and make that your TMP directory.
