What versions of org & emacs are you using?  Carsten recently (a month
ago or so?) put in a fix that seems to have addressed this problem, at
least for me.  I've been doing a lot of babel work lately and haven't
seen the slowdown since Carsten's fix.

Before this fix, the solution was to turn off mode specific fontification
of the source blocks: C-h v org-src-fontify-natively RET

HTH,
