Purely in the spirit of "because I can", I fired up a 244GB EC2 instance:
1MB -- 0.310421895981 seconds
10MB -- 0.317299044132
100MB -- 0.409169948101
1GB -- 1.3299703002
10GB -- 10.8254830956
100GB -- 133.936514747
I noticed during the 100GB loop that the process oscillated between 100GB and 200GB, making me suspect that the 100GB string is actually being copied somewhere, which is inefficient and surely has a significant effect on the timings at larger string sizes. As such, I didn't go for a 200GB string.
And just 'cause most of us don't see 200GB python processes every day:
