o Do you compile the .el files? A lot of people don't and don't have
  any problems (Bernt in particular), but your circumstances might be
  such that compilation might be a win (although you will have a slightly
  harder time at (re)installation and you will need to watch out for
  outdated .elc files.)

o If that doesn't produce the desired results, then profiling the code
  should be your next step:

  M-x elp-instrument-package <RET> org <RET>

  then run your slow command, then M-x elp-results.

HTH,
