If you suspect of table creation, it seems easy to remove those
operations and see what happens. That is, instead of

   subTableBlock = {Number=data[i][2],Dup=data[i][3]}

you can simply do

   subTableBlock = true

Of course the program will not work properly, but you can abort it
after that function. This technique may help you to find what is
the real bottleneck.
