Since you say that the noverlay branch helps, could you check the number
of overlays involved?  E.g.

    M-: (length (overlays-in (point-min) (point-max))) RET

If there are more overlays than chars in this buffer, maybe there's
a problem in some Elisp that creates too many overlays?

If there aren't that many overlays, then I wonder why the noverlays
branch would make such a significant difference.

Also, if you can reliably reproduce the "slow editing", would it be
possible to make a recipe for it that we can try and reproduce on
our side?
