That's what I suspected. I also see this and my suggestion helped
archiving speed in my case.

When you use category, every time you modify the original file (not the
archive!), Org mode re-calculates *all* the categories in the original
Org file. It happens for every single archived heading. If your original
Org file is large, re-calculations make things extremely slow.
