(org-at-item-p) can be very expensive, because it calls
(org-list-in-valid-context-p) which is also expensive and
clearly not optimized for every list movements.

I found out that the use is still acceptable for 1000-2000
list items, so I won't fix this right now, but something to
keep under the radar, yes.

In the meantime, cleaning out the logs sometimes is the only
suggestion I can make.

Thanks for reporting this,
