Interesting, I must have done something different. My setup time is longer
(~15 s), but once it's setup I can find an anagram in something like 2/100
of a second, most of which is printing.

I'm coming up with two words of length X for possible answers, did I mess
that up, or did you just mean that all we care about it X? X left
unspecified in case someone is still working on this.
