1) It shouldn't take that long to save.
   Try this command:

       $ time head -c 3M < /dev/urandom > file

   On my R-Pi, probably the most stylish but
   admittedly a very slow computer compared to
   most laptops and desktops, on my system this
   take only 0.67s.

2) Don't use files that long! Go to the
   hardware store and ask for a shorter one...
