Strange.  I have a 3MB Org file, and I see no such terrible problems
there.  What is the speed of your CPU clock?  I have a 6-year old
single-core Pentium 4 CPU here which runs at 3GHz.

Is cursor motion in those 3 sections slower than in the other ones?

Is there any difference between C-f and right-arrow?  If setting
bidi-paragraph-direction to a non-nil value helps, there ought to be a
difference between these two.

Thanks.
