Hmm ... this matches up with a vague thought I had that for some reason
the hash join might be spawning a huge number of separate batches.
Each batch would have a couple of files with associated in-memory
state including an 8K I/O buffer, so you could account for the
"slow growth" behavior you're seeing by periodic decisions to
increase the number of batches.

You might try watching calls to ExecHashIncreaseNumBatches
and see if that theory holds water.

This could only happen with a very unfriendly distribution of the
hash keys, I think.  There's a heuristic in there to shut off
growth of nbatch if we observe that we're making no progress at
all, but perhaps this is a skewed distribution that's not quite
skewed enough to trigger that.
