I tangled it on my box like this:

Start Emacs default

emacs --no-init-file

(emacs-version)

"GNU Emacs 24.5.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin15.4.0, NS apple-appkit-1404.46)
 of 2016-06-08 on vela"

(org-version)

"8.2.10"

In Emacs I evaluated

(defmacro measure-time (&rest body)
  "Measure the time it takes to evaluate BODY."
  `(let ((time (current-time)))
     ,@body
     (message "%.06f" (float-time (time-since time)))))

And timed and tangled it.

It took approximately 8 minutes.

When I tangle it using my config it takes approximately 11 seconds.

I would start with a bisection of the file to try and narrow down when
and where the slowdown occurs.
