As a first step, I would recommend upgrading to the most recent version
of org-mode. As the conversation you forwarded suggests, there have been
a bunch of optimizations since 6.21b. Other than that, I'm not sure what
would be causing the slowness -- I have thousands of lines in my org
files and the agenda appears almost instantaneously on a very modest
Atom processor. Are other emacs modes slow on the machine?

Best,
Matt
