OK, I get it.

Is it because of Org mode or not?

A couple of tests to know about this:

- switch to text-mode, via M-x text-mode, or

- grab an older version of Org (there have been quite a couple of
  performance problems recently, you never know).

If still problematic: try using `elp' or `profiler' (if under Emacs 24),
and report the performance problem either to M-x report-emacs-bug, or to
the Org ML.

Best regards,
