I was thinking if this has something to do with generating a lot of
string objects on the stack. Just to experiment I changed the type to
store a const char* instead (I know having const char* as items of the
set is pointless) and it compiled in under a second. So it has to do
with using string objects.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into using gperf or similar.
