Here we do some things in the name of speed, such as crop (which will hurt SNR) and downsample. Then we compute SSP projectors and apply them.

raw = mne.io.read_raw_ctf(raw_fname, verbose='error')
raw.crop(0, 60).pick_types(meg=True, eeg=False).load_data().resample(80)
raw.apply_gradient_compensation(3)
projs_ecg, _ = compute_proj_ecg(raw, n_grad=1, n_mag=2)
projs_eog, _ = compute_proj_eog(raw, n_grad=1, n_mag=2, ch_name='MLT31-4407')
raw.info['projs'] += projs_ecg
raw.info['projs'] += projs_eog
raw.apply_proj()
cov = mne.compute_raw_covariance(raw)  # compute before band-pass of interest
