Well. But it is not even that big of a file. And the lines are shorter
than window width.
I could understand Emacs lagging on some really large file or long
lines, but this does not look large at all!

These properties are for the purpose of bidirectional ordering:
(defconst org-table--separator-space-pre
(propertize " " 'display '(space :relative-width 1))
"Space used in front of fields when aligning the table.
This space serves as a segment separator for the purposes of the
bidirectional reordering.
Note that `org-table--separator-space-pre' is not `eq' to
`org-table--separator-space-post'. This is done to prevent Emacs from
visually merging spaces in an empty table cell. See bug#45915.")
Maybe there is a better way?

No, I do not mean a regression. But the slowdown appears to be
unreasonable for such a small test case. What is the point having
`show-trailing-whitespace' if it is this much inefficient? Maybe a
simple font-lock rule can be better?
