You may file an enhancement ticket - likely r.surf.contour has never
been optimized.

Well, it will only use 1 CPU unless being parallelized. But often a
code optimization is more efficient (as done for many modules in GRASS
GIS 7, see https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/Grass7/NewFeatures).
Maybe there is potential in r.surf.contour as well.

Just one other hint below:

better use

g.region res=1 -a

in order to avoid "odd" pixel resolution:

> g.region -p

... this will then become precisely 1.0.

I'll now try myself the interpolation.
