Sorry, I cannot send the offending file as it contains sensitive information.

20 leve 1 headings
Average about 6 - 10 level 2 headings in each, though there are 3
sections which contain over 50 level 2 items and a Tasks section which
has 120 TODO items (106 marked as done).
I have very few level 3 headings as I rarely get that deep. One of the
level 1 sections contains over 60 level 2 items which are include
either a timestamp or are just a timestamp.

It appears to affect all commands. Even typing is sluggish (I can get
'in front' of what is being displayed when typing quickly). Kill and
yank commands seem to be the worst, but all movement commands appear
to be affected to some degree. I get the impression the larger the
text being acted upon, the greater the slowdown.

Normally I do. However, the first thing I tested was to run emacs -Q
and just start by opening the org file, so only org-mode and no other
minor modes were loaded. Problem still existed.

It does appear to remove the slowdown

I will try and 'clean' my org file so that all sensitive info is
removed. If after that, the problem still exists, I will send it.
