Add to your document

,----
| #+STARTUP: showeverything
`----

Does that resolve the performance issue?

If not I would do the usual dance of unloading packages until the
performance issues goes away and then adding them back until it
returns.

Probably not the reason, but as Rasmus pointed out, you need one or the
other - not both.

Changing to #+STARTUP: showeverything did the trick . . . although I don't
know why. Why?

One of the reasons I discovered recently was this inconspicuous change
(around v8.2.6) [1], though this may or may not be what is happening
for you.

Calling `org-overview` on large files takes a lot of time and is CPU
intensive.  #+STARTUP: showeverything basically turns off a call to
this, when a file is opened -- so, the file is displayed with
everything shown.

Before this change, `org-overview` had a call to `recenter`, and when
a file was opened by visiting `org-agenda`, the file would be opened
in a buried (not currently visible) buffer. This would case `recenter`
to error out (since it expects the buffer to be current), there by
causing an error in `org-overview`.  Co-incidentally, this saved all
the CPU cycles. This change removed this "broken" call to `recenter`.
