First, remember that org-contacts is built on top of generic Org
search.

org-contacts.el considers Org headline to be a contact record when it
contains any of
org-contacts-email-property
org-contacts-alias-property
org-contacts-tel-property
org-contacts-address-property
org-contacts-birthday-property

properties.

All the variables can be changed to your preference.

M-x org-contacts does a simple regexp matching across contacts.

If you want integration with org-roam, you may probably want a custom
org-roam matches equivalent to org-contacts-matcher.

There is also M-x org-contacts-completing-read

For the slowness of opening the contacts, you may consider doing
M-x profiler-start .. M-x profiler-report to see what exactly is being
slow.

org-ql may be an option though it works best for a single large Org
file. You may have better luck using org-roam built-in search. I think
that the most straightforward way to integrate with org-roam would be
adding a "contact" tag to your contact records and then using the
standard org-roam search.

Hope it helps.
