How large is Emp_attr.csv?  If it is very large, perhaps the newer
system gives you less memory, and starts paging as result?

Or maybe some of the functions in the system libraries used by Gawk
became much slower in Server 2016 (a.k.a. Windows 10)?

In any case, if the run time is reduced to seconds, the difference
shouldn't matter anymore, even if it persists.
