Hello,

I'm facing a slowness while using org-columns mode on a fairly large
file of mine with around 700 lines split between 3 outlines.

My column definition is the following:

:PROPERTIES:
:COLUMNS:  %50ITEM %Director %Year %WATCHED{X/}
:WATCHED_ALL: "[ ]" "[X]"
:END:

The slowness is observed when I change the value of the WATCHED property
to the next value. Attached you can find the point where I found the
slowness after elp-instrumenting everything I could think of:

It seems strange to me that switching to the next value of a cell, a
call to org-columns-compute is needed. As you can see
org-get-property-block is calles 786 times (which is rougly the number of
all-level entries in this particular org file).

Is there any way to make things faster?
