That is a big file. The one I created is 70 MB (binary STL).

Oh, sorry F6 took 75 minutes of course.
OpenSCAD doesn't support writing out binary STLs, a simple option many of us
are waiting for.

Right, binary STL is a must. Here is some inspiration
https://github.com/arnholm/xcsg/blob/master/xcsg/out_triangles.cpp

look for "write_stl_binary". You will have to replace things related to
carve with equivalent CGAL
