I would expect that for this example question, you would be very 
hard-pressed to construct a program inefficient enough to be considered 
"too slow". ;-)

You could perhaps write the program in the Iota calculus, running in an 
Iota interpreter written in Bash script. That might perhaps be slow 
enough...
