Actually, it may be correct.  Isn't the difference between "using 1:2" and "using ($1):($2)" that the latter passes the data through a function?  (In this case a very simple function.)  That is, the "action table" code is called.

Try just "using 1:2", Dmitri, and see if that speeds things back to what you expect.
