Comment (by Austin):

 Thank you so much, mkver.  I found two articles stating that realloc() on
 Windows is "much more likely" to copy data than Linux and Mac for the same
 workload:

 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27627707/how-to-get-a-page-table-
 savvy-realloc-on-windows

 The Microsoft documentation seems to suggest that realloc() is just a
 wrapper to malloc() although I can't tell if that's only the case of a
 null pointer passed in:

 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c-runtime-
 library/reference/realloc?view=vs-2019

 Is there anything I can do to help?
