I am just realizing that you are using file tags.  Which means
that you have your personal tags in a separate file.  In this
case, you can get your agenda view considerably faster by writing
a custom agenda view that restricts the list of agenda files to
the personal one.

(org-add-agenda-custom-command
'("b" agenda "Personal Agenda"
     ((org-agenda-files '("~org/personal.org"))))

Another possibility is to use the normal agenda view and to use
filtering in the agenda with "/ p" (assuming that "p" is your
fast key to the PERSONAL tag).  I myself have pretty much switched
to filtering and simplified my custom agenda commands accordingly.
