well 8MB RAM is for sure a bottleneck ;)
8GB should not, but, well 6 Hours for 10 steps... maybe it did swap,  
and if you swap then everything is over, do check, if memory  
consumption is more than your physical memory the cpu usage drops  
drastically, again in top you should see this.

Use a smaller system, if this is the problem, the 32 water should  
already scale well...
