Interesting.  The performance I was referring to last week was indeed in
an emacs that had been running for quite some time.  I did close down
that emacs instance on Friday for unrelated reasons and the instance
this morning had only been running for minutes.  Maybe the problem is
not org alone but relates to emacs as well.

Well, maybe it's a problem that others do have!

To clarify, when I said I wasn't using the latest version of org, it's
that I hadn't updated from git in a few weeks but I am using a snapshot
of emacs tracking the development version (and now I have org up to date).
