Slow Performance Issue with Rapid Miner Outlier Detection

I have a recordset of just over 10,000 records with 8 columns and I tried using the outlier detection operator and it is taking a very long time to run. I have tried the different outlier detection methods (LOF, COF, etc.) and tried different number of neighbors and other optional tweaks. I tried allocating more RAM to the Java process, set the java process to high priority, but nothing seems to have an impact. I wouldn't think it would take so much for such a small dataset. I have the educational licensed version if that helps.
If anyone has suggestions on improving the performane of this particular operator, much would be appreciated.

Hey,
did you use the outlier extension and where dates included?

I am not sure if the base studio product came with extensions included, but I just used the Outlier Detection operator and no dates were involved, mostly dummy variables and a few continuous variables.
I just let it run, and it took about 10 minutes or so. Which is fine if I walk away from it, I just thought it was weird to be so slow for such a small dataset for an enterprise data mining product.
