The program runs in about 150 ms on my laptop (i5-8250U with 8GB of RAM and running Linux Manjaro). It allows to get the 100_000th Ulam number in about 30 seconds.
<pre>The 1st Ulam number is 2.
The 10th Ulam number is 18.
The 100th Ulam number is 690.

The 10000th Ulam number is 132788.

In a first translation, we got the result in about 24 seconds which is the time obtained by the XPL0 version on a less powerful machine. We found that declaring "sums" as a sequence of bytes (8 bits) instead of a sequence of integers (64 bits) makes a big difference. We then got the result in 5 seconds. Note than there are also some ways to improve the other algorithm by using 32 bits integers rather than 64 bits integers, but it will still remain at least 50 % less efficient.

The following version, which builds up a sieve as it goes along, is (astonishingly) about 40 times faster!

This version is even quicker than Version 2 and reduces the time needed to calculate the 10,000th and 100,000th Ulam numbers to about 40 milliseconds and 3.25 seconds respectively.
 
As mentioned in the Wren version 3 example, you need to know how much memory to allocate in advance.

The above version is reasonably efficient and runs in about 21.6 seconds on my machine (Intel Core i7-8565U). The following version, which builds up a sieve as it goes along, is more than 3 times faster.
