Can you get a profile of where the machine is spending its time during the
dump run? On Linux I'd recommend "perf", but on macOS, hmm ...
You could use Activity Monitor, but as far as I can see that just captures
short-duration snapshots, which might not be representative of a 10-hour
run. XCode's Instruments feature would probably be better about giving
a full picture, but it has a steep learning curve.
